The Dawn

There is no glow in the morning

If you don’t light the world.

If not for your hand in the dawn,

The clouds would go unfurled.

The wind won’t toss the misty sea

Upon the waiting land

If you don’t raise it from the depths

By your almighty hand.

Lord, I would never see the light

Or feel the windy spray

If you had not saved me from death

And washed my sins away;

For it is only by your grace

That I stand in dawn’s light,

The faith that brought me to this dawn

Secured me through the night.

Ephesians 2:8-9  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
