NEW DAY

In this new day
Of mercy and grace
Light shines

On this new day
Of peace and hope
Light shines

In this new day
Of life and joy
Light shines
 
On this new day
The love of God shines
Let us rejoice and be glad in it
2011
 
 
 
In the face of mercy and grace
This hard heart continually breaks
Broken before the Creator of all
Hope lives
 
In the holy place of absolute strength
This human heart refuses to beat
Lying facedown before the Cross
Hope lives
 
In this glory of God's promised love
This fearful heart finds new courage
Kneeling before the Lord of life
Hope lives 
 
In the assurance of God's perfection
This rebellious heart falls apart
Confessing sin in light of forgiveness
Hope lives

Praise to God for a Living Hope
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and
into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This
inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are
shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation
that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you
greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have
had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so
that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater
worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—
may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ
is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him;
and even though you do not see him now, you believe in
him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith,
the salvation of your souls. -- 1 Peter

I THINK

Think on These Things One of the tragic casualties of our age has been that of the contemplative life--a life that thinks, a life thinks things through, and more particularly, thinks God’s thoughts after Him. A person sitting at his or her desk staring out the window would never be assumed to be working. No! Thinking is not equated with work. Yet, had Newton under his tree, or Archimedes in his bathtub, bought into that prejudice, some natural laws would still be up in the air or buried under an immovable rock. Pascal’s Pensees, or Thoughts, a work that has inspired millions, would have never been penned. What is even more destructive is the assumption that silence is inimical to life. The radio in the car, Muzak in the elevator, and the symphony entertaining callers "on hold" all add up as grave impediments to personal reflection. In effect, the mind is denied the privilege of living with itself even briefly and is crowded with outside impulses to cope ...
