Shophar of Light


 Sometimes daybreak feels like a trumpet-sound!



Praise the One whose eye designs
Day-breaks glorious hues
Frames the follies of mankind
With what grace renews

With love’s sympathy
Stuns nay-sayers with the art-
Work of His Majesty

Forgives sins if we confess
He who braved death’s sword
Cheers us with His promises
If we trust His word

Once for all, suffered the cost
Torn from limb to limb
Where faith must take up its cross
If we follow Him

Praise the One who knows the Whole
Where we see in part
Honour, revere and extol
He who knows the heart

He who knows what lies ahead
He whose will designs
Avenues where hope and dread
Unknown’s tread aligns

He who opens heaven’s bars
Not with sound, but sight
And obliterates the stars
With a shophar of light

 In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; 
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
Psalm 5:3 NASB
