Everything Sad is Coming Untrue

 

In the way the shadows hide

When the sun begins to rise

And in the way the world comes alive

At the first hint of spring

The frozen rivers run

The death of winter comes undone

Whispers of Kingdom come

While the bluebird sings

Everything

Everything that I thought I knew

Everything

Everything sad is coming untrue

From the war torn city streets

To the trash the slum dogs eat

It seems so hard to believe

And meaningless to pray

But in Rwanda's killing fields

Forgiveness blooms and heals

And the power of love reveals

The Kingdom come today as

Life is coming alive

Death is destined to die

And love

When we learn to live again

And let forgiveness win

There's no wound that love won't mend

And finally redeem

The Son of God woke in the ground

The angel laid the soldiers down

To bring the King his crown

Oh, I believe

Life is coming alive

Death is destined to die

And love


Jason Gray

  4. These words, "And let forgiveness win"...oh how much better life would be if we could only forgive and love rather than hate! Thank you, Sandi, for sharing.

  8. Great poem, emphasizing the power of love (it mends) and that of forgiveness (it heals)!
    (by the way, your last comment on my post did't go through, for some reason; you may try sending it again).
