Song for God
When the sun is down
or hidden,
I will seek Your light.
When the birds' chorale
is silenced by sleep,
I will remember Your song.
When the medication
doesn't ease the pain,
I will trust in Your healing.
When the bread tastes stale,
I will rejuvenate in Your Word
which nourishes me.
When the coffee is bitter,
I will contemplate sweet Jesus,
who died on the cross for me.
