“There’s a Dawn in Every Darkness”

At our church’s Easter service this morning, we sang one of my very favorite songs/hymns of all time: The Hymn of Promise. Its truth is exactly what I needed to hear, sing, and believe during these trouble times in which we find ourselves.

If you have a moment, I invite you to experience its uplift and encouragement. (The lyrics are below.)

In the bulb, there is a flower
In the seed, an apple tree
In cocoons, a hidden promise
Butterflies will soon be free

In the cold and snow of winter
There’s a spring that waits to be
Unrevealed until its season
Something God alone can see

There’s a song in every silence
Seeking word and melody
There’s a dawn in every darkness
Bringing hope to you and me

From the past will come the future
What it holds, a mystery
Unrevealed until its season
Something God alone can see

In our end is our beginning
In our time, infinity
In our doubt, there is believing
In our life, eternity
In our death, a resurrection
At the last, a victory

Unrevealed until its season
Something God alone can see

I Wish You a Peaceful Easter Evening 2025.

Sunday Evening Song: “May You Run“

Tonight I am introducing a new blog category called “Sunday Evening Song.” Now you have something to look forward to at the weekend’s … end!

In church this morning, one of the songs was the short little chorus, “May You Run and Not Be Weary.”

For some reason, its blessing really touched me. And I hope it touches you this nightfall.

Okay, maybe I need to explain the photo above. I’m writing this blog post at the same time that Kitty Cat Benny wants to be in my lap.

The little song’s origin is Isaiah 40:31 from the Bible.

Here’s a neat little rendition of the song:

“And may the road you travel always lead you home.”
