Whisper-soft...

Such blushing beginnings to today!

Whisper-soft the darkness 

Yields to pink and gold 

Kind of like heart’s hardness 

Melts in love’s warm hold 

Kind of like the winter 

When it turns to spring 

Kind of like a sinner 

Sheltered by God’s Wing 

Whisper-soft the mantle 

Of night sheds its twill 

Kind of like a candle 

On earth’s window sill 

Dissolving the darkness 

With Hope’s gentle ray 

Kind of like heart’s hardness 

Dissolves when we pray 

Whisper-soft light scatters 

Shadows from the air 

Kind of like love’s answers 

To our question-prayers 

Kindling from cold ashes 

Mercy’s gleaming toll 

Kind of like grace washes 

Darkness from the soul

 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, 

because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!…

Lam.3:22-23
