Eternity’s light
Calling mankind home
With every sunrise
Peace forever roams
Leaving sin’s darkness
Renewing faith’s lease
Forgiveness heals hearts
God’s love shall release
Truth speaks through Jesus
Transcending from light
Spiritual food
Strengthened to unite
Hope shall be fulfilled
Ascending faith’s rock
Savior’s blood cleanses
Each sheep of His flock
Grace in forgiveness
Breaking every chain
Each shadow of sin
Fades in Heaven’s rain
From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Jim Cymbala: “God’s heart of mercy provides for us not only pardon from sin but also daily provision of spiritual food to strengthen us.”

From Ephesians 5:19-21: “As you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to one another, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.“
Journey always homeward
Strengthened with each sunrise
Leaving embers of darkness
Visions of tomorrow’s prize
Faithful compass leads on
Surrounded without light
Rising to face each challenge
Perseverance maintains flight
Soul’s courage reaches out
Destined to discover
Marching to harmony’s joy
Another hour uncovers
Tranquility’s campsite
Filled with memories past
Inviting blessed night’s rest
Single dream forever lasts
Envisioning love’s genuine patience . . . just where it shows up, may call upon tomorrow’s destiny.
