Look! morning’s epic entrance thunders with moments we’ve never met...
Because God is without beginning or end,
there will be no end to goodness!
Sometimes I am guilty of forgetting this,
falling prey to doleful dread,
believing the good days are over for good
rather than finding the good in each day,
and thanking God for it by honoring Him with it
in every way I can!
(click reference link to read the whole glorious Psalm)
How great is Your goodness
which You have laid up for those who fear You,
which You have bestowed before the sons of men
on those who take refuge in You!
I do not want to stare too long at sanguine scenes in Bygone’s glade
Nor covet echoes of a song, much softer now than when first played
Lord, give me ears to hear What Is before its music disappears
Open my eyes so I don’t miss the font that soon fills yesteryears
Beneath the hand of Time harsh sorrows and raw edges smooth, it seems
Washed by a tide, primed with tomorrows, rolling through a world of dreams
Darling, ere you and I awaken on the other side of This
Let’s be sweetly and humbly taken by the melody that is
For, far too soon Bygone’s infinite isle will claim tunes turned to mist
So, let’s not waste one precious minute while today's lyrics untwist
Look! morning’s epic entrance thunders with moments we’ve never met
Oh, let’s not grow too old to wonder at mercies not tasted yet

Oh, let’s not grow too old to wonder at mercies not tasted yet...
Dawn's eyelids were heavy with snow-shadows!
It's been a while since Old Man Winter
lugged out his white-wash bucket and tipped it over the earth...
I almost have First Snowfall thrills!
