Rays of sunshine,
Brilliant hope! You have returned, Cast off the rope! The sun always returns After a moonlit night. Darkness is not eternal, Engulfed by light. It may not be easy, But we can fight. It can be hard, But use all your might. Only God can fix What is broken. But I give thanks For this small token. My friend,
What can I say But I love you Today? I think of you, Wish you well, Pray for you, What more to tell? I despair with you When you cry. Tragedies happen, We don’t know why. I rejoice with you When you laugh. Or would like to, Forgive me when I can’t. We believe different things, But I still care. Wish I could do or say more… Sorry I’m not always there. I don’t always know What to say or do. Is it better if I stay away Than share an opposing view? How can I answer If you ask me what’s new? Even if it offends, I can only share what’s true. I’m sorry if it makes you mad, I can understand. I hope you can try… It’s not castles in the sand. I found true love, Not a fairytale. Wish you could see, He that won’t fail. Go out into the world
And preach the good news. Not easy to do With muddy shoes. We may appear pure, But tracking dirt thus Shows sin stains our souls, Only One can cleanse us. The world thinks or expects A bride dressed in white. The church aspires and desires, But images fall from great height. Why is it a surprise When we stumble? Who can point a clean finger? We must be humble. War between Spirit and flesh Is the dilemma of life. Losing a battle, No greater strife. The devil seeks whom To devour. Don’t sink in defeat, Look at the hour! He wants us to crumble, Shrink away, hide in shame… But now’s the time to rise up, Grace and power in Jesus’ name! Not by our own strength Do we dare fight. Sometimes we must walk By faith and not sight. Realize we’re imperfect, Till the foretold new creation. This won’t last forever, Endure till our final destination. Hang onto Jesus In life’s ups and downs. Those that strive in the race, Only they receive crowns. Effects of the fall, Humans full of flaws. There is none good, We’ve all broken His laws. Shatter the perfection myth, Let go of the façade. It’s not about us, Do all for the glory of God. |
