photo by saija ... design by GOD Afraid? Of What?
To feel the spirit's glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid -- of that?
Afraid? Of What?
Afraid to see the Savior's face?
To hear His welcome, and to trace
The glory gleam from wounds of grace?
Afraid -- of that?
Afraid? Of What?
A flash - a crash - a pierced heart!
Darkness - light - O heaven's art!
Each wound of His a counterpart!
Afraid - of that?
Afraid? Of What?
To do by death what life could not?
Baptize with blood a stony plot
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid -- of that?

Oi katso mikä aamu, yön varjo katoaa... ... saan rukoilla saan pyytää tänäänkin armoaan, Oi katso se on aamu edessä istuimen.
Well, I don't know if this is sunset or sunrise but it made my heart sing this song. One of my favourites!
