newness

i'm facing today with my hands lifted high
trust falling into His arms
my eyes are wide open to all that He's done
ready for what comes next
the way that the trees wave praises in silence
seems new in the morning's light
keep silent you hills and rocky crevasses
my lungs are filled with His song
each simple smile or wind through the flowers
speaks hope to my aching heart
for He promises truth though the dark closes in
so i'll hope against hope once more
as children taste treats with superlative joy
so i shout to the heavens
i remember those times when i wept in the night
finding joy comes with the dawn
though i can't see the way from off of this ledge
His wings will carry me
and when over Jordan i finally stand
all will be by His grace
the walls will fall down and the enemy flee
and i'll bow to my knees in awe
what storm are you facing with waves billowed high
you can sleep in the bow
knowing He silences wind with a word
rest in His power and care
He promises never to let your foot stumble
your way is sure and free
awaken each morning His mercies to claim
His presence will guide you through
