From sunset to sunrise
I look to You O Lord
I find my security in You alone
My stomach churns in these uncertain times
Is this fear or anxiety
No, I think this is what grief feels like
I know You are at work in my circumstances
But what exactly what You want to accomplish
I don’t know, I can’t see it from here
May I trust You with the unknown future
May I remind myself You are good
You are and always will remain faithful
As the sun sets and darkness falls
Once again, I see fresh beauty anew
As if painted from the hand of the Creator
Help me to trust You O God
To bring beauty from these ashes
Reveal Your purpose in the pain
