From This Where Moments Wrest...

Now lays He to the banks of earth

A Thing that none has known

And now we marvel at the birth

Of new hope from God’s throne 

Unfolding like a butterfly

Time's new-born beauty beams

Through the cocoon of midnight sky

It breaks in glory-streams 

 

The beck and call of yesterday

No one can return to

But oh, upon earth’s shoreline splays

A gift from God, brand new

See how He spreads across the sky

From raven deep, dawn’s gold

A morsel of thought’s by-and by

Now trembles in our hold

And all that we can ever plead

From This, where moments wrest

Is to pray God his love to lead

And then give Him our best

 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
    and give thanks to his holy name. 

 For his anger is but for a moment,
    and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.

Ps.30:4-5
