Lord, how long the midnight of my soul,
the ache, the yearning for all
to be beautiful and whole?
Is this life the promise of all there is?
Earthly pleasure the goal to seek?
….. Disappointment only meets!
Deep within stirs unrest,
the longing for full blessedness.
Around pulsates evidence,
as cold and gray of winter months
explodes in warmth and colour
to the miracle of summer.
My soul, hold on!
Be filled with joy!
God brings winter, but too the spring.
He is working!
His Kingdom comes
when He’ll make new…
everything!
From earth’s struggles freed,
restored, transformed
to what God designed to be:
radiant beauty, full, complete,
inexpressible glory
for Eternity!
