“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to Whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him...And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:20-22,44
the light dwells with You

blessed be Your name
remaining constant in the changing times and seasons
unhindered by the reign of wicked rulers
undaunted by the darkness that will not relent
blessed be Your name
the unending Source of wisdom and power
the Revealer of all that is hidden
the One with whom light dwells
no matter how my heart laments the ruling powers of my day--
kingdoms raised by hands dripping evil
exploiting
deceiving
bombarding
destroying--
i find myself uplifted by the Kingdom that is to come
Your Kingdom that will crush all others
in a glorious rule of
peace
blessed be Your name
may i stand within its unbreakable shelter
hemmed in by Your overcoming light
for You know all things
and if You bid me stand in the darkness
i will stand in it with You
finding delight in seeing
Your beauty, power, wisdom and light
topple kingdoms
that by any other means or authority
would not fall
