CLOCK PSALM

CLOCK PSALM

Awakened by an inner chime
I greet the Morning Guest –
So grateful to be up on time
I thank Thee for my Rest.

Thy Cross becomes a Beam of Life –
Thy Crown, a vital sign –
The kiss of death, a Covenant –
Thy Cup, assuaging vine –

Thy Gospel plan, a spacious field –
Thy Tree – the love of God –
The Living Water irrigates
Thy Word, the iron rod.

Enlightened by the scripture feast
I meet the Path of Day –
But first I pause to praise Thy name –
At last – I kneel to pray.
