STARLESS NIGHTS He gives us stars and rainbows When He feels we need to see, Creation in all its glory is shown As one of nature's mysteries. No stars appear in the summer night Yet I know that they are still there - We have to believe in things unseen And trust in God's unfailing care. Clouds cover for just a little while; He knows we need the time to rest Instead of counting the many stars With which we are richly blessed. We need this time, this solitude, To turn away from Heavenly lights And kneel to thank Him for the gift Of all those quiet starless nights. Oh, I may never see His gentle face Yet I know that He surely is still there We have to believe in things unseen And trust in God's unfailing care. Countrymom 8/18/08 |
