“May my teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and like showers upon the herb.
For I will proclaim the name of the Lord…”

Deuteronomy 32:2-3

Although the introduction of Moses to the song which bears his name is as lovely as it is lyrical, there is good reason to believe he was speaking more of his desire that his words be effective and exert a positive influence on the people of God than he was their sheer poetic beauty. Nonetheless, the song of Moses is Hebrew poetry and like so much of the wisdom literature and the Psalms, is beautiful, lofty, and inspiring!

On this page you will find something a bit uncommon these days. Modern English poetry in the service of The Story, in the service of heroes of faith, and in the service of praise toward God. We hope you will find some of these pieces encouraging, useful, and strengthening. And we pray that God—His word, His will, and His way—may be faithfully reflected in these “drops of dew”.
