A New Day

A NEW DAY

The light precedes the sun to announce a new day
As twilight lingers behind to give a hug saying all will be ok

In between this time I awoke to think, move, and talk
Finding that nothing I do will stop this God ordained clock

Each measured day is not gone forever, but instead
Is recorded for us in the eternal records at the place Jesus bled

A day that time interrupted itself and stopped the sun
Demands my attention to the events that caused blood to run

I was there, standing in the shadows, hiding myself hoping none would notice me
And for a long while I watched this man die there in agony

I lack the words to describe this scene; there were many on the knoll weeping for Him
Distracting me to look at them and their reaction, wondering to myself “ what do I feel?”

The light precedes the sun to announce a new day
As twilight lingers behind to give a hug saying all will be ok

Now witnessed, the image of the picture was burned into me
Like an atomic flash that leaves outlines of victims on the walls

Energy of the Holy Spirit was released to the people of the world
Standing present, or two thousand years away, notice was given to all

I sensed the change coming over me. I was given something from history
Author of creation was put into me; I was filled, even while watching agony

A transformation took place within my heart, mind and soul
First sight was how selfish I am, doing only what didn’t make me whole

Now the bright new day has made life so much clearer to me
A light that has given me ears to hear and eyes to see

The light precedes the sun to announce a new day
As twilight lingers behind to give a hug saying all will be ok
