Signs in the Heavens

Saw the sky blush

So shyly in its peering

And through the windows

Captivated gaze was steering

Opened the blinds

To vista’s glory

Pristine pastels spoke

Of the Creator’s story

In crystal blues

Beside golden treasures

And pinks like flowers

Brought heartfelt pleasures

Heavenly brushstrokes

Swept away my cares

Breathed joy and peace

So this heart again dares

Courage again to dream

And hope to lift these wings

This heart may boldly go

Eyes seeing past earthly things

So with chin held high

And armor from head to toe

I step boldly into this day

Because Savior will with me go

Take the bushel from this light

And to the world dare show

The flame not of my own

In darkness casts its glow

For I know I’m naught without you

Alone cannot stand and fight

But when you dwell in my heart

There’s no need to fear the night

So as darkness descends

Inevitably comes my way

You remind me once again

It’s you that won the day

In evening canopy you show again

Amidst the lightning flash

That your promises never fail

And my hopes you will not dash

For stretched across your canvas

A rainbow glows in skies of rust

And so my arms they rise to you

Because it’s in you I place my trust
