sureness

i am sure the sun will rise
and awaken silent sleepy eyes
bringing radiant waves of light
warming skin cooled from the night

i am sure, as sure as can be
that rain begins upon the sea
giving flowers and grasses green
a glimpse of heaven, eternally serene

i am sure that God above
will complete me with abundant love
this confidence did come to me
from gracious gift and life set free

John 8:32 ESV

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
