But now...here are great lyrics from Jonathan Butler's Brand New Day Song. This song puts a smile back on my face ;)
Chorus
Forget all your problems
Forget all your worries
God will make a way
Forget all your problems
Forget all your worries
It’s a brand new day
Verse 1
He’s the God of your salvation
He’s the God of all creation
He’s the one who’ll see you through
He’s the Alpha and Omega
Redeemer and my Savior
Here’s what you’ve got to do
Verse 2
He’s the God that keeps forgiving
He’s the God that keeps revealing
His promises to you
He’s the God of every season
The God for every reason
Here’s what you’ve got to do
The tight grouping of Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Spica ends its spectacular run this month. All four are low in the western sky at nightfall as September begins, but Saturn drops from sight early in the month. Mars and Venus are still in the sky by month's end, but they shine for only a little while before dropping below the horizon. By that time, however, the night sky's next-brightest object, the planet Jupiter, is climbing skyward in the east, and will shine brilliantly throughout the night.
Stargazing
The night is fine and dry. It falls and spreads
the cold sky with a million opposites
that, for a moment, seem like a million souls
and soon, none, and then, for what seems a long time,
one. Then of course it spins. What is better to do
than string out over the infinite dead spaces
the ancient beasts and spearmen of the human
mind, and, if not the real ones, new ones?
But, try making them clear to one you love —
whoever is standing by you is one you love
when pinioned by the stars — you will find it quite
impossible, but like her more for thinking
she sees that constellation.
After the wave of pain, you will turn to her
and, in an instant, change the universe
to a sky you were glad you came outside to see.
This is the act of all the descended gods
of every age and creed: to weary of all
that never ends, to take a human hand,
and go back into the house.
