In the sunrise
The light appears
There’s a world
Of blessing here
Drawing deep
Of the fresh air
There’s a life
Of blessing here
Blessed souls
Of way to share
There’s a bond
Of blessing here
Gifts of grace
Within our prayer
Beyond this world
Of blessing here
From a night of darkness
Of blustery chill
Sky of snow falling
We awake to morn’, still
We blink once or twice
Rechecking our eyes
A miracle blessed
Of wonders surprise
A pasture of snow
Icicles formed
With a coating of ice
Each tree is adorned
Sun of arising
The scene to ignite
The world set ablaze
With the blessing of light
Every branch glows
Each blade of grass shines
Diamonds of brilliance
Proclaim joy divine
In these days of worry
Of troubles we’re aware
A question, where to turn
To one who loves you dear
The Lord is the answer
His voice always near
And it’s a true blessing
When He makes it clear
On the side of the road
A sign did appear
A Word for the wise
Of “Faith over Fear”
Turning of the future
In the Lords hand to share
Living in the moment
The blossoms now appear
Let silence speak
This morning prayer
And our soul be
Of witness here
This new day births
As light reveals
The blessing of
This morning’s field
So, tender be
It’s touch of love
A gift of grace
From heav’n above
Caress of warmth
To soil deep
Of nourishment
Of growth to seep
A whisper soft
Thought to construe
That in the love
That we’re blessed too
Please bless them Lord
This day to be
Your gifts outpour
From grace of Thee
Let Spirit flow
With joy and love
Your heaven share
They take part of
Let Your light shine
With praise and song
With one heart join
We all belong
Let gratitude
Rein in their heart
With waves of love
From this day, start
For it is a blessing
To begin this day
To nourish the soul
In dawning to pray
You offer a palette
Of beauty to see
Your presence of being
Surrounding me
In silence of stilling
In facets of light
In colors abounding
Of Spirits insight
A falling into
Your arms of sweet grace
In comfort of knowing
Your loving embrace
Bless me a morning
One nice and clear
Your Presence abiding
Draw fresh of the air
Wrap me in birdsong
Sing to soul sweet
Creation awaken
Possibilities greet
Lift me to blue sky
Soft the clouds white
Praising Your glory
Bathe me in light
Lift branches high
Roll pastures green
Stir soul’s direction
To You in the scene
We’ve all come across them
A blessing of the way
Such a special soul
That brightened up our day
Sharing of the message
They carry in their heart
Of God within their life
A joy to us impart
Connection of the greater
Of our soul to lift
Our God truly knows
They are to all a gift
Light glows all about them
And flows to us too
I hope that you do know
That special soul is you
As the sun slowly rises
Light to the earth
A blessing upon
This new day of birth
Bless those who’ll pass
Bless all be born
Bless all with joy
And all those forlorn
Fill all who hunger
Quench all that thirst
Humble the righteous
Lift up the cursed
Answer the seeking
With gifts of divine
Bless all with love
And this heart of mine
Bless Your beloved child
One that You love true
Let us pray as one
He’s precious to me too
In day ahead before him
With challenges to face
Surround in Your Presence
Safe in warm embrace
A soul of innocence
One faithful to You
A lamb amongst the wolves
Be His shepherd true
In home of returning
A story let him share
Let us praise, rejoicing
Of this answered prayer
