But Now You Hide Life From Me
the light is nearly gone, just a sliver of it left,
and then …
Psalm 30:7-8
By your favour, O Lord, you had established me as a strong mountain; you hid your face; I was dismayed. To you, O Lord, I cried, and to the Lord I made supplication.
.
John 16:22
So you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
Oh, it used to be so good, blessed people said, though they plotted and schemed to bring me down, down, down,
without cause, just jealousy and fear at being seen for what they are.
So
it was
but now
is no more
The joy is gone
the hope has died
for even God has deserted us
and all that is left are promises, promises, promises
as old as the ages and newer than fresh snow
that have been broken
through the ages
so often and
so often
again.
…
Where is the joy?
