REJOICING COMES IN THE MORNING

In the night, I am lost, my plans are shattered, and so are the desires of my heart.

I look to you, call to you, hope for you but there is only darkness and despair.

But even the darkness is not dark to you.

In the precious process of the night, you reveal yourself to me.

Gently and lovingly you awaken my heart, tenderly you swell my heart with love.

And darkness becomes like morning.

I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love.



Job 11; Job 17; Psalm 30; Psalm 59; Psalm 139; and the writings of John of the Cross as referenced in The Dark Night of the Soul by Gerald G. May
