Not Every Morning

Not every morning Brings peace and joy Sometimes I awake to heartbreak Despair and discouragement Sometimes I arise to problems, trials Worries that darken my dreams Sorrows that destroy my wonder Not every morning Brings feelings of contentment Sometimes I come to life with dread Doubting even the best intentions Sometimes I am aroused by pain Feelings of sadness that I blame For all my moments of disappointment Not every morning Brings blue skies and sunlit praises Sometimes I am awakened to despair Grief that stings me to my core Sometimes I arise to calamity, misfortune Feelings of anguish and misery A darkness that shadows all of my dreams Not every morning Brings me into a gentle hope Sometimes I am stirred to life By suffering, pain and strife Sometimes I feel only the dread That invades my heart’s best Sometimes I only know conflict Never the wonder of peace’s gentleness Not every morning Is dancing with beauty Sometimes I see ugly and nasty Sometimes I see hideous threats Sometimes I can’t find my way out Of the shadows that obscure God’s best! Not every morning brings joy But every morning brings a second chance To believe and receive the joy Of God’s love, His Son, my Savior Every morning brings the opportunity To bow before the King of Kings Whisper praise for His unending grace The Gift Of salvation, the reason for each breath Not every morning brings a smile But every morning brings a new light
