TIMING


Why wait I for some perfect moment to
spring into excellency?
Surely I am positioned,
conditioned,
   appointed,
      anointed,
to do, to be, to move
in the light
   that is a beacon, destined
to shine
   upon hilltops, shining
in the deepest valley, shining
in rthe rage of a desert storm, shining
across the endless horizon, shining
touching lives, reviving
   stirring hope
from very sleep, nestled in the heart
embracing doubt and unbelief--
Knowing that as I go forth,
as I leap faithfully upon the wings
of obedience,
bearing the banner of truth,
   doing the Master's will,
I shall know that victory,
in this day's moment of time,
is mine.
