Today... 'Dayspring' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Dayspring'



As the rising sun greets each brand new day
its rays chasing all the shadows away.
So You, the One Who from heaven has come
to light up our way and to lead us home.

Dispelling darkness and forgiving sins
shining upon us as each day begins.
Through Your great salvation bringing release
guiding our feet along sweet paths of peace.

It is so good to know that You are there
as I rise up to face each daily care.
My faithful Lord greets me as I wake
Jesus my Dayspring meets me at daybreak

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Luke 1: 76-79
And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;   for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death,  to guide our feet into the path of peace.' ©NIV

Luke 1: 78
Through the tender mercy of our God, which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; (KJV)

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'Dayspring'
