Come Sunday

Duke Ellington gave us these beautiful lyrics to the song, “Come Sunday” –

Ooooh...

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

I believe that God put sun and moon up in the sky.
I don't mind the gray skies
'cause they're just clouds passing by.

Heaven is a goodness time. A brighter light on high.

Do unto others as you would have them do to you.

And have a brighter by and by.

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

I believe God is now, was then and always will be.
With God's blessing we can make it through eternity.

Lord, dear Lord above, God almighty,
God of love, Please look down and see my people through.

When all else fails and there doesn’t seem like there is any possibility for Sun to rise again … God will see you through.

When the burden of just making it from one day to the next … when it feels that life isn’t worth living … God will see you through.

When the joy of living is less than the sadness that encompasses your heart … God will see you through.

When the doctors only have bad news and friends and family seems so far away … God will see you through.

Never lose hope … never lose heart … for as the Psalmist shares, “Joy comes in the morning.” There is always another sunrise waiting, another ray of sunshine, another word from God of encouragement … God will see you through.

It might be Monday, but Sunday is coming and when Sunday arrives you will know that God has seen you through!

Quote for today: Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all...As long as matters are really hopeful, hope is mere flattery or platitude; it is only when everything is hopeless that hope begins to be a strength. G.K. Chesterton
