The Night is Far Gone

You aren’t stuck

In the darkness:

“The night is far gone;

The day is at hand” (Rom. 13:12).

I bless your eyes to see

The morning beginning its glimmer.

You stand

At the edge of dawn.

The shadows of

This present evil age

Still fall long upon the earth

But “the night is far gone”

And the “day” of God’s reign

Has begun.

In Christ, your light has come!

The old darkness has lost its rule!

You are a child at daybreak—

Stretching, blinking, and waking

To the glories and grace of God.
