Dawn Poem by Danny Speicher

Lord, hear my cry at the dawn of the sun
It is to You I want to turn
It seems my life is now coming undone
And now, Your love is what I yearn
Lord, so often I’ve turned away from You
I thank You for your loving grace
No other’s love is so perfect and true
I will forever seek Your face
Lord, I have now reached my darkest hour
Because, from Your mercy, I’ve strayed
I find myself now with weakening power
And all of my dreams slowly fade
Lord, take those broken dreams that I once had
And throw them in the blazing fire
Destroying my will, with Your will to add
Your purpose is my desire
Lord, hear my cry at the set of the day
When night slowly creeps up again
So, lead me and guide me is what I pray
And let my new life now begin
