Inspired by the song of the birds
Been through the stark darkness of the night
Wasn’t sure if I’d ever see the slightest crack of light
but still I sing
Devastation and destruction surrounds me
I’m not even able to take flight
But even now I choose to sing!
Betrayed and wounded my wings find no strength to soar
Things appear hopeless but I dare to dream there’s so much more
But today I still sing
I sing not because all is good
Rather I’m thankful that things are not as it could
I sing because You are worthy
So whether in a whisper or in an exuberant voice
to sing unto You is an easy choice.

Have a lovely day.

16 March, 2011 at 5:32 pmLet all who take refuge in You rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread Your protection over them, that all who love Your name may be filled with joy. – Psalm 5:11
Joy unspeakable, peace unexplainable and glory unimaginable.

My love and prayers are with you and thank you for the warm words and prayers for me at my blog.
