In The Morning (Poem)

In The Morning

Even when we smile, with each breath our hearts break;
Though you’re in Heaven now, inside our souls ache;
But when we think of you, our spirits stir awake -
We will see you in the morning.

In this gloomy land of shadows and dark night, 
We will walk by faith in the Lord, and not by sight;
Even in our deep sorrow, our future is so bright -
We will see you in the morning.

The Sun of Righteousness rises with healing in His wings;
With all your pain gone now, we know your spirit will sing.
The Comforter will come with the strength only He can bring -
Reminding us, we will see you in the morning.

There is a day coming soon that shines brighter by far,
You’re living now in the presence of the Bright and Morning Star;
In the land of forever where no tears can ever mar -
We KNOW we will see you in the morning.

(Dedicated to the memory of Pat Nevokshonoff)

“The words of the seraphs looked beyond the sufferings of Christ to the glory that should follow and to the time when earth, which saw His advent in lowliness, should see Him come in power and great glory. So certain are the purposes of God that Heaven could speak of the future as though already realized. "The whole earth IS full of his glory" (Isaiah 6:3). It is not only that the earth shall be filled with His glory, but that nought else could be its fullness. Where sin had wrought its havoc and death had wielded its pale scepter, only the glory of the Lord Jesus could fill the scene with joy and peace. For this glad day our poor earth waits, and though night's darkest hour is still to come, there shall follow the morning without clouds when sorrow and sighing shall flee away.” - H.C. Hewlett, The Companion Of The Way.

1 Thessalonians 4:13, 18  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope… Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
