Outside, still dark before the dawn
Silence dwells within
The day, as yet, has not begun
And You invite me in.
Your sweet presence calls to me
To nestle in Your love
To wrap myself in all You are
Surrounded, as a glove.
And suddenly the darkness
Contains a certain glow
As through Your words You speak to me
Your light begins to show.
Outside the sun, now coming up
Beckons to join its day
Still found in You I follow its call
Your love will light the way.
Darkness is as light to You
Your love casts out all fear
And I’ll face this and every day
Just knowing You are here….
