In the Early Hours

In the early hours of morning when the world is sleeping on How my longing soul delights in Time I spend with God's dear Son In these quiet peaceful moments I can open up my heart, and my Savior gently blesses of His grace, I take a part There is nothing I can't tell him: every secret, every pain, and he gently, kindly listens From His presence, strength I gain He assures me that He loves me that there's nothing that can make Love for me to ever weaken, for His death was for my sake He reminds me of His mercies, and His constant, watchful care Wraps His arms of love around me Let's me know He's always there Even when the storm clouds gather, and the darkness blinds my sight He is there so close beside me in the watches of the night When I lay my head against Him All my burdens disappear What a joyous revelation That to Jesus I am dear Friends at times will disappoint me Loved ones will forget to call, but my Lord is ever present He will catch me when I fall When in time the world awakens, I must be about my day, but I take my Jesus with me, for He lights my life and way Greater love? There is no other! Better blessing? Not a one! Only Jesus now and ever! Only Jesus, God's dear Son! Eileen Manassian Ghali December 7, 2024
