Joy comes in the Morning: A lament

By Spencer H.

Another Dawn has come
Another Day of Death
Another Day of Uncertainty
Another Day of Test

How long, O Lord, will this last?
I can't be sure, but you will hold me fast.
Alas, Lord, my heart is heavy!
It's heavy because it is yours.

I know reckoning is coming.
I know that evil will end,
But I cannot see that "when".
Is it soon? Is it yet?

Alas! I'm afraid this is the heat of Noon,
But I know a new dawn is coming.
Lord, this weary heart is yearning,
For the Joy of a New Morning.
