Awaits

Time it winked at me as it flew bye
Finally knowing the twinkling of an eye
The day had come for things to end
Or night arrived for them to mend

In Truth we find what we believe
As proof of all which we conceive
In heart the Word neatly written square
The Hope of God residing there

Come life, come power, come peace at will
To dream, to watch, a memorable thrill
When His unfolding Plan I saw
I stood there leaning in resounding awe
For simple word failed to express
The finite end to hopelessness

In dance I found the steps to fly
In tears I found the will to cry
For this world had forgotten the reason why
And the purpose for each man to die

To Him begotten our return
That moment for each in which we yearn
So small the candle that we have to burn
So sweet the words and prize we earn
