Who with one word can make the sun bow to the moon;
the day, the dawn, the afternoon?
Who with one word can make the earth revolve on a string,
the clouds heavy with the dew of spring?
Who with one word can cloak bare dirt with daffodils and
scatter wild beasts across the hills?
Who with one word can raise the dead to life again
and set free the captive hearts of men?
Who with one word can turn what's wrong-side up again--
what seems a loss into a win?
God can! He will! Your weary soul he sees.
With one word from Him, remember this-- all darkness has to flee!
written with love to my brother in 2006.
