Daybreak At every instant, every day, Somewhere on planet earth, Comes the moment of daybreak. Daybreak is that magic segue When “first light” Appears in the black night sky. God has said, “Let there be Light.” Light is hope—light is trust, Light is faith—light is life. Daybreak is the affirmation Of God’s promise—and His Love… And so—there is light!
