“Shadows of the Dawn” | SONG of the week

Artist: The Gray Havens
Album: Ghost of a King
Year: 2016

A world away and still not far,
like fabric woven into ours—
the dawn, it shot out through the night,
and day is coming soon.

The Kingdom of the Morning Star
can pierce a cold and stony heart.
It's grace went through me like a sword
and came out like a song.
Now I'm just waiting for the day
in the shadows of the dawn.

But I won't wait, resting my bones.
I'll take these "foolishness" roads of grace
and run toward the dawn.
And when I rise and dawn turns to day,
I'll shine as bright as the sun,
and these roads that I've run will be wise.

It's veiled and stands behind the shroud,
the final day when trumpets sound.
Sometimes I glimpse into the fog
and listen for the song.
Till then I'm waiting for the day
in the shadows of the dawn.

But I won't wait, resting my bones.
I'll take these "foolishness" roads of grace
and run toward the dawn.
And when I rise and dawn turns to day,
I'll shine as bright as the sun,
and these roads that I've run will be wise.

"we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."

1 Corinthians 1:23-24
