Rising

6/7/23

Another fall, and towards the end of day
How hard he fought! But others held their sway
Forgiveness sought, received; yet full of sorrow
He wondered if he’d fall again tomorrow 

Encouragement then reached this sinner’s ears
With hope to fight despite his weaker years
Beginning o’er and o’er he shows his love 
And facing failures, rising back above 

While in the distance sun is seen to set
In this man’s heart the day’s not over yet
It rises when renewed beyond his fall
And brightens when he strives to give his all
