The Rising of the Son
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

The Rising Of The Sun

Lives are measured by the moments.
Just fleeting instances of time.
No guarentees and no delays
to slow or silence the sounding chime.
It matters not the bonds that form
for all are simply passing through.
Live and love and hope and die.
All things done as if on cue.
Oh what would be the rhyme or reason
if in truth life was that way?
If all existance was just a journey
to a final day.
Praise God his wisdom goes beyond
what human mind can comprehend.
For life is bound by love and hope
and with Jesus it will have no end.
And so when lives are blessed to know
the joy of being one.
In that moment of darkness sure to come
they wait for the rising of the sun.
