New Today

 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Rom.1:20

Time’s light, not long before

Was deftly drawn away

Now from the Gate of Mercy pours

The dawn of new Today

In spite of creature ways

Love does not still time’s sands

But tips the scales of holy grace

To Newness in our hands

We stand in awe, agape

This God of gracious love

From deepest, darkest dark can shape

Morning from midnight’s trove

And where the air was black

As hearts that lost their way

God does not scoff nor turn His back

But grants a New Today

Our days are in God’s hands

All things on Him rely

As hope entrust time’s ether sands

To He who parts the sky
