In The Dawn

Breathlessly, in the growing dawn,

I wait to hear from You.
I turn my face toward the light
As sunlight glances through.
                   
I’ve found, for me, it’s in the line
Between the dark and dawn,
When all the world’s holding its breath,
And all night’s fears are gone
 
That I can sit in reverent peace
And, sometimes, hear Your voice.
Thus I can face what comes each day,
For I have made this choice-
Before I step forth in the day,
I take time to rejoice.
 
Matthew 4:16
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
