DARKENED SKY

I awoke this morning to a darkened sky

The sun had yet, the dawn to grace

I fixed my coffee, made my toast

Combed my hair and washed my face

I didn’t worry that maybe today would be

The day the sun didn’t rise

No, I knew it was coming, I expected it to

Past experience had made me wise

And as sure as it had the days gone past

Light over darkness overcame

‘Til the sun hung high, in the morning sky

And for the day it would remain

Isn’t it odd, how we seem to have such faith

In the things that our eyes can see

Yet when it comes to God, in our darkest hour

Do we wait for Him, expectantly?

Or do we wallow and fret when rough times hit

And forget all the times He’s been there

Do we doubt that He’s watching, and guiding us through

Giving us power, the storms to bear

and rise again each day on the ‘morrow

I know that the Son of God is there

To help me in times of sorrow

I keep a joyful heart and watch for the signs

Giving Him praise and gratitude

Knowing He’s working behind the scenes

Gives me hope as my new attitude

I wait for my breakthrough, I don’t bask in my pain

He says “my child, why do you cry?”

Lack of faith is the variable, the constant blame

Doubting Him being reason why

So as sure as the sun will rise and fall

And rise again each day on the ‘morrow

I will ask, believe, receive, have hope

And be joyful, in the midst of sorrow
