Today’s text

Psalm 90:1-2

Eternal and Immortal One, You have been our refuge in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, before You had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are the Alpha and the Omega.

Morning praise

Before star light

startled the ancient

darkness, before light

awakened hope that life

could be, that beauty

should blossom,

Love lived,

Present, unknown

abiding and birthing

all that is that all

that is may know

the Presence of Love

Present always.

Awakened

we know You,

Love who lives

in every love

we know.

Morning comes again

with Mystery within,

Presence of Love

abiding, undeniable,

Spirit beyond my own.

You abide every where,

in all, but known only

by those who love,

known … dearly

as they know

the curve of their

beloved’s cheek.

They … I know

this … Something

Who is no thing but

Thou, Someone

Who is Ever More

than a person, Beyond all

the searching eye can

see, More real

than life’s breath, giving

life beyond breath, eternal

life, the Presence

of Love Immeasurable

simply there, abiding …

within the heart’s

secret room.

Sense? Can this be

sense at all? Can any

words speak what the

morning heart simply

knows as the gift

of the Giver?

No one can name

You; Alpha and Omega,

not nearly enough.

You are no thing; You

are Love Abiding every

time and place, beyond

all that is, yet held here,

in this soul privileged

to know …

You.

Thank you for this

joy above all others.

Pr. David L. Miller
