More Than a Circuit of Sunsets...

Day rises

Then sets

With its triumph,

Regrets

Where fear and faith contend

Night falls

Away

And Time begets

Another day, my friend

God gives

And takes

Heart sings

And aches

Pride breaks the golden rule

But God

Who loves

Us so

Abides

His grace forgives this fool

Man’s mortal

Thread

Of heart

And head

As we shed blood and tears

Fills

The embrace

Of One

Whose grace

Is greater than our years

The roof

Of sky

Amazes

Eyes

Where we, fixed on earth’s sod

Should not

Forget

Time’s transient

Thread

Is held in hands of God

 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace…Eph. 1:5-7
