Yesterday, at the close of our worship service our pianist thanked God
not only for what He has done but for what He is going to do!
Isn't that an amazing Anticipation to start a new week on...
the hope and assurance of what He yet will do!
The forwardness of time is something none of us can
overpow’r
And who of us can force the bud or pull its petal into
flow’r
The finer things of love and life are not its passions we pursue
But rather the peace He will tender as we surrender anew
The ether tulle that tints the crepuscule that snuffs the
dimming day
Soon dons the brush that spawns the blush that yawns the
hush of night away
To kindle in the dwindling barge a charge that sparks the
sacred toll
Where time’s sliver of light we see is but eternity’s
keyhole
The say and do of me and you in time’s grand scheme may
seem minute
But ho! The seeds of words and deeds will without fail
unveil its fruit
And what seemed of small recompense when falling from our
hands or lips
Becomes the bedrock or the bog whereby somebody stands or
slips
The way we are can scar a soul without the holiness of
God
He grants the grace that makes us whole in spite of holes
in our façade
Where without Him the forwardness of time is a grim
enterprise
Because it leaves us without hope when death has cut us
down to size
The forwardness of time does not return us to yester’s
despair
Its ladder that we climb is anchored in God’s everlasting
care
Where all that he has done does not exhaust the mercy dawn
makes new
But ushers with the rising sun the awe of what He yet
will do

"Oh God, will you give me the song to share today?"
I prayed before I clicked Youtube
And the song below was the first 'suggestion'!!
perfect.
No better words to start a day or week on!
Thank-you Lord!
A friend sent me this song today after reading this post.
