Those radiant streams of mercy
that shine down from above
are full of “solar” power:
they’re God’s most perfect love.
They’re seen as dawn is breaking
with the rising of the sun
but remain invisible to most
once the day’s begun . . .
Unless a cloud is passing by
that hides the sun from view
then the rays that penetrate are seen
as they come shining through.
That’s how it is in daily life
when we forget the “Son.”
We count on Him to light our way.
The thanks we give Him: none.
We take for granted all the times
He’s sheltered us from harm
and don’t give Him a second thought
until there is a storm –
And then, as clouds are building
we search for something bright;
we need those rays of comfort,
those shafts of guiding light.
And God is always faithful,
yes, God is always true.
His radiant streams of mercy
are always there for you.
