Nightfall comes to everyone,
Midnight is inevitable,
The door closes and we’re gone,
Times ahead are profitable.
Midnight is inevitable,
Twilight harbingers our clocks' halt,
Times ahead are profitable,
We transcend from a vault.
Twilight harbingers our clocks' halt,
We stand at the end of the bridge,
We transcend from a vault,
We go past every siege.
We stand at the end of the bridge,
The door closes and we're gone,
We go past every siege,
Nightfall comes to everyone.

God I thank for His love midst grace bounty
along mercy of sweet serenity…
His bestowed existence-breath’s verity
daily propels blest productivity…
His gift of life throughout eternity
assures me wondrous redemption surety…
His granted trust-propped faith-gripped faculty
brings forgiveness when confessed as guilty…
His endowed jubilation’s purity
cheers my soul, vanquishing anxiety…
His steadfast truth and precepts’ certainty
proves the Scriptures’ immutability…
His promises bracing security
guard me against skeptic doubt’s vanity…
His wisdom of guidance tenacity
gears toward stewardship capacity…
His power in worshipful praise beauty
enables service opportunity…
His presence ensuring peaceful safety
upholds my prayer to the Almighty.
1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

Truth
Is the cornerstone of creation
Chosen by God himself
For
The universe to build upon
Because
Of its immutability!

By the Lord’s power, buttressed by His authority
We can subdue our own carnality
Toward righteous walk exemplifying genuine spirituality
While consecrated through His holiness’ beauty
Overcoming enticements of lustful vanity
Relying in His Word’s infallibility
Highlighting divine integrity
Having been redeemed by His grace of compassion-bounty.
Through the Lord’s omnipotent tenacity
We can vanquish selfishness’ futility
Toward joyous service of sweet tranquility
While yielded to His guidance along wisdom-certainty
Learning from Christ’s meekness and humility
Praying with fervency, casting to Him every anxiety
Being upheld against deceit and falsity
Having been strengthened* by His truth’s immutability.
*Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Joyously, I worship You, my God, for Your grace midst my salvation.
With Your justification, You declared me righteous, beyond Satan’s objection…
Your Word wrought my redemption with Your Holy Spirit's conviction
Marking me as Your child due to Your decree of adoption.
Now, I praise* You with triumphant gratitude and jubilation!!!
Gloriously, I worship You, my Lord, for Your power of omnipotent capacity.
By Your transformation might, You are perfecting me toward maturity…
Your victory settled my glorious future, sealed by Your immutability
Making me testify graciously about Your majestic authority.
Now, I praise You, obeying You with Your help that’s mighty!!!
Spiritedly, I worship You, my God, for Your blessings, timely every moment.
In Your generosity, You enrich me, Your heir with steward's commitment…

Meeting all my needs against dissatisfaction predicament.
Now, I praise You with all my best offerings of love-driven involvement!!!

I love this silence
It must have been like this that night
When God gave evidence
Of time hidden in eternity
And said: let there be light
Only God could mute
Immutability, and refute nothing
With his presence absolute
For what absolutely is must
Exist alone, and with nothing else
Can be but cannot be known
And even so I, another creator
Using words to make galaxies
Out of dream, must forever be
Alone. Writing is a silent art
But wait until I speak my mind
Aloud, wait until the lightning
Before the thunder roars
I shall be suddenly still.
