Mercy molds each brand new day
This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it
Psalm 118:24
Ah, here it is, A brand new This; The day the Lord has made
He crowns Bygone’s echo-abyss with Mercy’s balustrade
Where want will lure but hope secures what we all see in part
And heaven only knows the highs and lows it will impart
Ah, here are we; humanity, the apple of God’s eye
He watches over you and me through every low and high
Where dreams will break and hearts will ache and hope will feel quite frayed
But we are all wrapped in love’s shawl; this day the Lord has made
Ah, here he IS; no genesis or exodus to He
Who crowns Bygone’s soldered abyss with Opportunity
Where one and all receive equal shares in time’s latest lease
And play a part within the heart of Mercy’s Masterpiece
Ah, here it is; the Truth of this; the day the Lord has made
Is like a kind and holy kiss of God’s grace, un-betrayed
Where He does not extend for aught Time’s sacred season-sum
But flings ashore the Ark’s wide door and beckons to all, ‘come’

2 Pet.3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,
as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering toward us,
not willing that any should perish
but that all should come to repentance.
