The sun rises every day
and sets again.
But when God dawns upon a soul,
He turns His eyes into the darkness,
and rests His gaze
on the one
and steps toward him purposefully,
the glow of His glory
pushing back the dark—
slowly, steadily—
as He prepares the way
to the perfect moment.
Then from beyond the mountains
too high for us to climb,
He leaps across
in the sudden, blazing joy
of love accomplished—
the golden sheen
of a better day—
for where the LORD dawns,
night has no claim.
