Peering into depth of darkness

Seeking remedy to life’s ills

Light of perseverance comes forth

Trusting to obey Father’s will

 

Filling hope with light’s endurance

Tasting Father’s sustaining grace

Spiritual awakening

Walking toward salvation’s birthplace

 

Entering light’s sanctuary

Calvary’s cross, bloodstained

Redemption from sinful darkness

Forgiving debts, no longer chained

 

Thirsting to follow Christ, thy Lord

Receiving light of peace each day

Replenished from living waters

Embracing His hope-filled pathway

 

Replacing darkness with His light

Following Father’s divine Word

Righteousness fills faith’s every breath

Witnessing truth as prophets heard

God always shows up.  He always saves.  He always rescues.  His timing is not ours.  His methods are unusually unconventional.

From James 4:8:  “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Angela Thomas Pharr (born 1962) is an American Christian writer.

New day dawning

Precious minutes to embrace

Gifted from Father above

Faith’s quiet place

 

Use time wisely

Journey inside Father’s will

Based upon righteous living

Grace shall refill

 

Trust built daily

Immersed in His divine Word

Blessed worship with Father

His peace transferred

 

Sunrise prayer

Father fills heart with His love

Steps made by faith, not by sight

Truth reigns above

 

Hope comes forward

Filled with each forgiving breath

Accountable to Father

Light over death
