Still The Dawn

 

Dear Soul,

                     ......who has known grief

                            and sorrow and unbelief...

                You've seen times where

                             there seemed to be no relief.

Yet still the dawn

eventually appeared,

and you saw the light

of His countenance draw near

and then it was

that all things

                              became clear

So don't give up

don't quit the faith,

walk the walk, run the race,

Choose to be still

and patiently wait...

He's promised He will

renew your strength. 

Dear Soul

                    So stressed, unrest within,

                    You are treasured, so precious to Him.

                    He has, without measure, forgiven your sins -

He has joyfully given you

his kingdom of love

where love reigns supreme.

So do not give up,

Do not cease to dream

of a promised land

free of pride, hate and fear,

where love rules inside  each man.

and all hearts are clear,

And sorrows have no place there

for every dear soul

               knows how tenderly He cares...

So wait

                                                                                   patiently

The dawn will arrive

He'll see you through 

He'll help you survive 

The long dark night...

The victory He won

through Calvary's crimson tide

Will bring you, dear one,

To forever dwell

far from Hell,

at His side.........
