One rainy day cool and damp
My eyes beheld a beautiful sight
As a mother hen covered her six chicks
Under her wings with pure delight
I could not move, for it touched me so
As little rain drops fell from the sky
Seeing how she patiently sat, forgetting herself
Giving her young a place to hide
Oh how she catered, to their every whim
While as her feathers got soaking wet
What care she showed to her young chicks
But still her chore wasn't over yet
She stayed right there, showing no despair
As they took turns, ducking in and out
Each time running for cover, beneath her wings
Without one worry or any doubt
That they were being well cared for
By their mother who showed them love
And they had no fear, for she stayed near
To be a shelter from the rain above
So how much more our heavenly father will do
When we need a safe place to hide
Will he not also cover us too
When we need him to be by our side
Won't he not spread his wings of comfort
When those rain filled troubles fall
To shield us while their hanging over us
Will he not hear us when we call
My heart had witnessed his awesome love
On that cool and rainy day
And I thank him for giving such an insight
In such a marvelous way
