Just after sunrise
Just as the first light-golden glimmers
Of the sun begin to outline the blinds of my room
My bleary eyes gaze upon the wall before me
Where my artistic rendering of my God’s name
-In the form of the initials YHWH-
Hangs as an honored daily reminder in my life
And I began to speak to Jehovah……
O Jehovah….Jehovah
A new day awaits me after the unknowingness of the night
But it is by the fixed positions of all your heavenly bodies
The stars, the moons, the planets and their rotations
That moves me to rejoice in our dawning sun
For, without fail, the glow of our sun follows each freighted night
Father, let this be the day……I beg
That you wrest back control of your creation
From the One who now rules it!
May today be your ‘appointed time’
For I well know that that One will never cease
His wanton and destructive abuse of man and the earth
No matter how many petitions or protest marches
Op-eds or appeals to man’s highest courts of the nations
Nor is he moved by our tears and sufferings
Father, we are living in the bleakest darkness
And we stumble about fruitlessly and in growing fear
Yet I have no fear, Heavenly Father!
For, without fail, just as the brightening light
From the sun outlines this new day before me
So will the holy light from your only-begotten Son
Relentlessly overtake the gathering darkness in this world!
One day soon, I know that those of us with upturned faces
Searching for that light will have it with us eternally
Please hear my prayer, O God…
In the precious name and blood of your Son…
Our Christ and King, Jesus
Amen
