by Mark Weinrich

In the hour before the rosy light,
I wait, His Word spread out
as if I’d never heard.

I want new eyes, new ears
before this day is born,
a heart expectant.

I could assume 
which road to take
but our Lord is prone 
to surprise.

I long for the Spirit’s breath
to rise with the peace of dawn,
to walk with grace-filled steps,
with a message 
fresh as dew.
