Rising
Psalms 113:3 (KJV) “From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.”
In his quiet way, touching,
A kiss, a nudge, a whisper,
Softly spoken moments, in gray…
Laughing through the broken darkness
Night trembling all around the soul,
Breathless dreams, haunted by wars,
Between struggling hopes and weary thoughts,
Colors, in grief, soundless and brief,
Flowing on the rivers of gentle,
Beckoning to the spirit with peace,
Sensing all the music in windless songs…
In his lingering expression, daunting
A prayer, praising the Author of us all,
Existing in the light, falling softly, still…
Heartfelt ache, breaking through the rainfall,
Sighing on the cloudless skies,
Stirring souls to remember when blessings blew,
Beneath the glimpses of a mountain view,
Where knowing fell, like a silhouette, shadowed,
By yesterday’s mystery, threads
Torn from garments of darkest dread…
In his final hours, reality ached to share,
What it means to love with the life,
Love, in beautiful smiles – sewn by light,
Basted in joy and hemmed with the threads,
Glowing presence of One who lives,
Inside the spirit, inside – He gives…
Peace, faith, grace, love…
He is there, in the rising up and in the sitting down,
Risking every thought, when He can be found,
Lifting burdens, imparting wonder, restoring hearts
Who have been destroyed by the darkest thunders…
In his heart, He knew the answers to the worry.
he knew the meaning of grace, the hope and the faith,
he knew the way, the truth, the life…
because he’s met the One who was the sacrifice,
for every sin, all the dark that’s been, the depravity so deep…
because he knew HIM, the ONE who is God’s gift,
to souls who needed to be forgiven,
there is the assurance that he’ll always experience the love,…
Love in hues of lasting peace, love in tones of truest faith,
Love in revelations of grace…
We’ll soon see His lovely face, because we believe…
He is the way…
In the heavens, he lives today,
Because he knew Him as the way to say…
Love is alive and it lives inside,
Where Jesus Christ has come to guide,
Restoring, saving, making a way…
Through the fears, the tears, the years
Before the heart found the truth that is His.
