The day of rest shall dawn at last.

c 2010 deborah kunzie

There is so much business in our lives and everyone seems to be in a constant hurry. Being a photographer is one of my ways I am able to stop and enjoy the creations of God. God manifest himself in the face of nature and the people that choose to stop and inhale are the ones that benefit from it most.

I am thankful that my eyes are open enough to see it when it presents itself.

This fast paced world will come to an end one day and I am reminded of my Fathers favorite old gospel song. In fact one of his favorite singers, sang it at his funeral. Here are the lyrics:

There waits for me a glad tomorrow,
Where gates of pearl swing open wide,
And when I’ve passed this vale of sorrow,
I’ll dwell upon the other side.

Some day beyond the reach of mortal ken,
Some day God only knows just where and when
The wheels of mortal life shall all stand still
And I shall go to dwell on Zion’s hill.

Some day I’ll hear the angels singing,
Beyond the shadows of the tomb;
And all the bells of heaven ringing,
While saints are singing, “Home, sweet home.”

Some day my labors will be ended,
And all my wand’rings will be o’er,
And all earth’s broken ties be mended,
And I shall sigh and weep no more.

Some day the dark clouds will be rifted,
And all the night of gloom be past;
And all life’s burdens will be lifted,
The day of rest shall dawn at last.

Speak Your Mind
