Ever Nearer the Son

The sun stirs my morning softly, fragile like the shyest smile, hesitating... And, You, with YOUR pure light, whisper hope that silences shadows, leaving my fear of the darkest night, reminding me why I know this blessing, so alive, a blessing... Your presence fills me with peace, with serenity so beautiful and sweet, Your light flows grace through my belief, pouring out a message that brings hope, timeless as eternity... And, You, with Your gentle grace, send music through my heart’s beat, rhythms, softly playing the old hopes, wisdom stirring my soul to just believe, never stop believing – even when I’m grieving, just keep believing… You restore my hope, my faith, my love with Your authority, I see – from my heart, the beautiful that comes alive for the one who sees, past the miracles fading from a silent breeze, the wonder of a love that never ends, a love that stirs the heart to ever hear the poetry that praises You, my endless light, the blessing that abides… throughout all time, You are mine! The whole reason I have decided to stand in the shadow falling from Your light!
