Sunset and Sunrise

Your sunrise and Your sunset both we know
And wonder which forever will prevail;
We long for truth that we hope You will show
To guide us in the storms through which we sail.

And then we see a light that does unite
Both sunrise and Your sunset seen as one,
As sunset’s death in each of us invites
Your sunrise of new life in each begun.

Uniting all, we see Your Noah’s bow
Above our stormy seas across the sky–
Know You will conquer in us every foe
As cross and empty tomb in us draw nigh.

In sunset, hope of sunrise always lives
As we repent and You our sins forgive.
