In a Glimpse - 1
A glimpse of hope shined down
From the stardust promises
Of a Savior and a best friend
One who gave me deliverance
From the despair that filled me
With fear, doubt and dread
Darkness that shadowed my joy
Silhouettes of trepidation
Tormenting hope’s blessings
A glimpse of light whispered
Across my heart and soul
Breathing colors in hues of summer
Sunshine yellow, bold scarlet
Flowing sapphire moon rising
Wrestling with the gloomy sadness
Blackening my heart with sorrow
Storming through my thoughts
With anxiety in flavors of failure
A glimpse of faith shimmered
Through the clouds of defeat
Welcoming gentle raindrops
All around the cloudless peaks
Where lavender mists with gray
Tails caught me up in the beauty
Of a rainy day, pouring out blessings
On me – through my Jesus’ Love
Love that is unconditional, faithful
A glimpse of laughter healed me
From the loss and grief of mourning
When my heart ached with a yawning
Dread, a feeling so painful my prayers
Were fed by the comfort of knowing
Jesus is always with me, abiding
There inside my spirit – whispering
Miracles, compassion, dreams
Beauties beyond comparison, alive
A glimpse of love filled me up
With promises that I would know
Joy beyond compare, feelings
So rare and pure they traced
Kisses across the edges of rainbow
Dawns and embraced my soul
With expressions of serenity
And bold, brilliant thoughts
Of prayers and praise – eternally
Grateful for His mercy and grace
In a glimpse… Jesus knew
My heart, my soul, my truth
And He loved me through and through
With a love that is everlasting
With Him, I know the answers
Are found in His Word, where I meet
Him in so many verses of truth
Guiding me, assuring me, caressing me
With faith that knows He lives
Forgives and leads the way
To a heavenly home – where I’ll
Spend eternity worshiping Him
In a glimpse…
