He Surprised Me at Midnight
When in my youth, I held un-trained thoughts
about God…and where His glory is seen.
I felt He dwelled in the moments of worship & honor
but “left” in the times in-between.
Oh, little did I know…for it took time to grow
while God patiently and fully revealed,
That He was there in my afflictions…showing His mercy
whether or not I was healed.
He was there in my distress, to show I was blessed
in the pain that so many never knew.
But He bonded me to Him and put me back together
and now I’m stuck on His glory like glue.
He was there in my failures when I was so fragile
and disappointed at what came to be;
For He wiped all the tears that reminded me I’m human
and need a Savior for each day I see.
He was there in the shortages, when my needs were bigger
than all the resources found in my home.
For in faith I cried out and my Father delivered
to show the power that only He owns.
Though I saw God and sought Him in the daylight hours
with great stories of His marvelous ways,
He surprised me at midnight, so I worshiped in darkness
at my great Sovereign King on display.
