Time Writes in Rhythms of Light
there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim
it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell us that love had come to his life
years after this, I’d see that stirring ember
sparks of hope divine to heal my worst fears, strife
revealing how it feels when rain falls gently
as He pours out love across the afterlife
dancing through silence comes joy so contently
bruising the sorrows with a story of light
rushing to wake smiles of love so intently
there were times when nothing ever felt just right
but I knew One who kindled hope in my soul
despite the times I warred with the bleakest night
this shadow song restored his faith, made him whole
with the Savior’s love, he was blessed with peace
peace from believing in One who can console
struggling with the sorrows, sadness would increase
my heart began to see he’s a friend to me
finally, I learned that love would never cease
rushing, like wind reminding a busy sea
even when I couldn’t see – God made a way
stirring a song of hope inside, so I’d be…
filled with faith in God’s grace, precious love to stay
so that I know, even when I don’t understand
there is One who can still the light of day
and bring love to the heart, a love to withstand
every fear, all the doubts, even salty tears
knowing God’s strong and it will be as He planned
listen to the voice of One who always cares
the still, small voice that lingers in your ear
revealing the wonder of kindness that repairs
don’t forget, through all the days, throughout the year
He is beside you, leading you past the pain
He is the strength that won’t fail, always sincere
whatever might come, I know One who assures
with love, He’s the anchor in each storm that comes
He’s the God who sustains – He’s mine and yours!
