No Night There

Frankly, I'm not even sure anyone reads this, but still, it does me good to write it. Through the extreme life circumstances of my best friend this past year I have become aware of a very special website. It is called CaringBridge and is serves to allow families with very sick children to keep everyone updated on their journey. When God leads my best friend to a new CaringBridge site she usually passes it along via her daughter's own CaringBridge site. It is amazing and one thing I have noticed is how CaringBridge has almost become it's own community that allows families to connect with other families experiencing the same or similar things and hence not feel so alone.

Anywho...I just visited the site of one young man who is 13 and about to be taken to heaven unless God chooses to pull an 11th hour miracle. We all know God can, but does He will? On this young man's site a visitor had posted a song that I wanted to also post. Just the words but if you will allow Him I'm sure the Spirit will sing the melody for you. This is what we are looking forward to! Praise the God of the Universe!!!

NO NIGHT THERE John R. Clements (c.1899)
“In the land of fadeless day
Lies the city foursquare;
It shall never pass away,
And there is no night there.

Refrain:God shall wipe away all tears,
There’s no death, no pain, nor fears,
And they count not time by years,
For there is no night there.

All the gates of pearl are made,
In the city foursquare;
All the streets with gold are laid,
And there is no night there.

All the gates shall never close
To the city foursquare;
There life’s crystal river flows,
And there is no night there.

There they need no sunshine bright,
In that city foursquare;
For the Lamb is all the light,
And there is no night there.”
