A friend of mine has been writing music for quite some time now. Recently we started working on a duet that I have found to be absolute poetry. One more time the Lord has used music to draw me closer.
While we are not finished with our song, here is what we have to date. I thought I would share in hopes that it will touch someone's heart as is has mine.
Sunrise over the horizon
Fountain of light in flames
As surely as the night fall
A sunlit moon remains
You drew me a painted sky
If only I could frame
Created a billion stars
And call them all by name
Lord, I have my afflictions
I try to hide away my pain
I cannot shield my sorrow
When my eyes begin to rain
At times – I dread,
The rest of the day remains
You raise me and hold me
Deep in your bloodstains
I have gone over these lyrics many times and each time they touch my heart and bring tears to my eyes.
"For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light." Psalm 36:9 (NIV)
