Lessons From the Morning Sky

Darkness clouds the atmosphere
Darkness shrouds my faint heart with fear
Darkness conceals what lies ahead
Uncertainties make me afraid

In the crevice of darkness
I see a glimmer of brightness
It's hope I see, though it be frail
I know God's faithfulness prevails

In dark times, God is our light
His light makes our fears take flight
His light grows brighter as clouds part
Christ, the Light, brings hope to our hearts

Christ, the Light, is ever present
Though, in our eyes, He seems absent
He is present behind the clouds
Our eyes, darkness no longer shrouds

His light breaks through the darkness
Our sins He's pierced with His brightness
He's dealt with our greatest darkness
Do not fear the lesser darkness

Our hope flows like a fountain
Though our future be uncertain
Fear not! Take courage in Jesus
Our Shepherd who gently leads us
