Light
Even in
darkness light dawns for the upright,
For the
gracious and compassionate and righteous one
What a switch
from God to cherish and
Welcome your
darkness – a time for grieving
Losses to find
the shimmering satin
Edged
illumination of acceptance
Flowing
graciously into hope in
Your time,
Lord.
What is
upright, Lord?
Is it a truly
honest person?
One without an
agenda
Nothing to
prove
Simply
welcoming each new
God grated
circumstance
As an
opportunity to grow
To experience
adventure
Feeling the
assurance of your
Holding my
hand
Emptying out
of self – centered fears
Will I appear
foolish, unappreciative?
Needy,
ungracious, boring, less than?
Hold me
upright, Lord
Let me witness
to your goodness
May I
co-operate in my own completion
And
Giving glory – out-pour the stewardship
Of love and
compassion
How your grace
turns self-righteousness
Into
righteousness
And
stubbornness into gracious surrender
An attitude of
gratitude
A posture of
submission
Can turn a
steely, selfish heart
To hear God’s
new commission
