- Thanks be to God for making the darkness:
it isn't enough that you gave us the light;
- without the night, we couldn't see the stars:
we shouldn't be able to sleep if there were no rest from brightness.
- The night brings its own kind of beauty and excitement:
it's the time for leisure and for real enjoyment;
- we know that black is beautiful:
dark skin a sign of health in a white society;
- it's blackness that shows up what happens in the light:
the drama on stage or screen we see from darkened surroundings;
- the sad sweet songs of past days praised the darkness:
the richest of all tunes in nature comes from the nightingale.
- Help us appreciate the dark in your creation:
Lucifer's the one who brings evil, and he was the angel of light!
- For you are God, and you rule the darkness as well as
the day:
you have made the blackness of space majestic.
Taken from
Psalms of Life
