I heard you Lord, just now,
Calling softly, rousing me gently from my
Dulcent dreams, your spirit ever so tenderly
Filling my mind, displacing my sleep,
Inviting me to throw off my comforter and
Face the adventure of another day dawning.
Long before the first rays dissolve the shadows,
I accept your challenge: I will try again,
Leaving doubt and worry on my pillow, I will
Run toward your redemptive sunrise, for
While I have stumbled in the darkness often,
Your light has always guided my path.
