Fading Away

Ghost of moon in morning sky,
Slowly fading with sunrise;
Reminds me that I am to die,
So I can live within Your light.

For so long I’ve waxed and waned,
Stubborn in this human frame;
Unwilling to yield unto the light
Even though I know it’s right,
Truly it is a human plight.

Yet Your light shines
And I cannot hide,
No matter how much I try.
My sin of selfishness reveals,
Just how stubborn is my will.

A challenge, this is indeed;
To yield to You, to bend my knee;
To give to You, praise deserved,
To give my life without reserve.

Yet as the sun warms my face,
My heart is filled with Godly praise.
I think, how silly are my ways,
To fill my days by chasing clouds
That slowly fade away.

And so on this newborn day,
I thank You Father for your grace.
It is to You I give all my praise.
You are my love, You are my God,
For in Your light, I do fade,
So You will shine,
My Lord Jesus Christ.
