In his love; Good, for God wins his Song
Oh, heart, don’t look back,
You will not lose for long,
All that is lost, will gain again
In his love; Good, for God win’s his song.
Oh, heart, don’t mourn, you must not be drawn.
The times, they are swift-
seasons pass, they conform,
held in his midst like a wild summer storm.
Oh, heart, don’t look back,
The east comes with new dawn-
Bringing gifts of life’s future
From such goodness, full drawn.
Look, see what brightness
does beckon, does sing.
There at the threshold
of his mercy, of our King.
Oh, heart, don’t look back,
You will not lose for long.
All that is lost here will gain again.
In his love, Good; for God wins his Song.
Oh, Heart, find your place there,
find that note, find that song.
Sing forever with The Chorus;
with the Beloved’s dear Belong.

I really enjoyed this poem. It reminded me of God’s goodness on a Sunday evening when I was feeling downcast at the thought of the coming week! Thank for the encouragement.
