Some of the days are winter dark
and some of them are summer bright.
Others' are spring's redemptive green;
or autumn's glory, sometimes tinged with gray.
But from the church's window, any day
is neither useless, lopsided, or lost.
Even if rain and winds have tossed
fierce storms about, nothing can depress
the ordinary day faith can confess
to be the day our regnant Lord has made;
the day of His Salvation---
safe from all wordliness
and from damnation;
safe like those days of Noah in the ark.
And from the glorious Heavenly
prospect of the redemptive destiny
whom none can ever possibly
disable or demean.
