Hymn of Today

How oft it seems my heart is tornTwixt want and wonder's 'How?'While from wellsprings of morn to mornMercy renews Love's Vow “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.Jer.31:3 Yet I call this to mind,and therefore I have hope:Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed,for His mercies never fail.They are new every morning;great is Your faithfulness!“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in Him.”Lam.3:21-24 It was one of those mornings where the knowledge of Hopegrappled with the Anchor; where the heart's cables groaned beneath the ache and weight of creature-care,where there was but one thing remaining; prayeras Mercy Renewed broke through the darkness!Hallelujah! The sunrise like a mighty metaphor... On shores of hurt and hunger yon doors of daybreak partWhere wars of want and wonder vex body, mind and heartWhere anguish and elation in constant conflict vieA vexing combination of intent and reply Before soon slips to After; twixt What Was and Will BeTime’s roar of tears and laughter pours through humanityIn stunning revelation; nobody left intactWhere no imagination can void matters of fact Faith and fear, hope and heartache, desire and despairA smorgasbords of choices, we partake of its fareWhere today hinged to morrow, is like life’s quintessenceOf love’s joy hinged to sorrow, of choice to consequence Where whatever we weather, more weather waits to beWhere we are altogether bound for more than we seeWhere the glory of living is not in what we getBut in the sacred giving earnest heed to The Yet Of what is sure and certain, still waiting in the wakeUntil death’s lowered curtain unveils what is at stakeUntil the holy thunder of Last Breath sails the seaTwixt Shores of Want and Wonder and Vast Eternity Through doors of Divine Mercy, to shores of you and meNew morning shines with berths of fresh opportunityWhere the grace of the Giver holds Judgment’s bar at bayHe strums the strings that quiver with hope’s/love's hymn of Today © Janet Martin Eph.3:14-21For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
