In this blessed morning
Of insight, reveal
In this dawning light
Tell me what do you feel?
An invitation
A welcomed embrace
A gift of new day
Of radiant grace
Warm rays of searching
Of drawing within
Encompassing all
Peace flowing in
In senses surrounding
Of opportunity
A moment to cherish
Of God loving me
Found in every dawning
One to let us see
Past the dark of night
The light will come to be
When the outlooks gloomy
No answer can we see
A glimpse beyond the clouds
The light will come to be
With offering of prayer
Our hope in You to see
The dwelling of Your Presence
The light will come to be
A calling to us all
So hopeless now can see
Let us proclaim with joy
The light will come to be
When our day has come
The truth our soul we’ll see
The One beyond this world
The Light will come to be
Let us pray and ponder
Within horizons view
The Wisdom of our God
How each day starts anew
Whether sun is shining
Or dark clouds appear
I want you to know
My light is shining clear
See upon grass laying
On each blade it does fall
Upon all of creation
Love freely blessed to all
Know within my seeking
Nothing to earn or do
A gift of the receiving
The response is up to you
A dawning of calling, in silence its song
Respond with our binding, in prayer join along
Stirring within, let the soul hear it
A movement this day, the call of the Spirit
Come now the chosen, the ones of the light
A call to arms, of purpose so bright
An offer before us, to share now our gift
The bringing of heaven, of this world to lift
Above is our view, display of beauty
Colors of blending, of miracles, see
Joy of arising, to know in our soul
In building His kingdom, we each share a role
Sunrise is our flag, raised for us all
With charge of the Spirit and love is our call
Slow the dawning
From the night
Horizons glow
Of black and white
Soul is seeking
Colors, employ
The empty scene
Devoid of joy
Still a prayer
Spirit appeal
Inspiration
To reveal
Let roots of faith
Grow deep this day
In deserts rain
Through shades of gray
Blessed every morning
In waves of the dawning
Senses of filling
The Spirit is spawning
Song of the bird
Ears of the filling
A sparkling reflection
Of colors spilling
Emptiness carries
Sound through the air
A transparency
Allows light shining clear
Hint of reminder
Same be for you
With waves of the Spirit
Through us to flow through
With a gift of sharing
From another place
Let the Spirit flow
With the waves of grace
In the high desert
Of thin mountain air
We rest in the dawning
Of light to appear
A sky full of peace
Of rising into
Turning from darkness
To hope in the view
Let dark clouds of passing
Drift on their way
A scene for the soul
In drawing to pray
A hint of eye seeing
Of this gift begun
In colors transforming
To Spiritual ones
Soft is the sunrise
Within winters chill
Colors are warming
Moving soul still
A capture of drawing
Transfixed in the glow
Desire to move on
Is lost in letting go
Inner of the calling
With gift of answered prayer
Beauty of the being
This moment that we share
Joy within dwelling
Appearing shining bright
Found a new perspective
In birth of dawning light
Night of the restless
So much on the mind
Exhausted from resting
The morning we find
A gaze to horizon
In beauty of glow
A drawing into
Of something to know
God of great glory
Awaiting to send
The way of His Spirit
Let me now depend
Re-center the focus
Of soul to appear
Take me away
To dwelling right here
A drifting to prayer
Inner light spawning
New vision awakes
To be of the dawning
Let’s meet on the shore line
To be of the dawning
In light of newborn
Sweet silence of morning
First movement of day
One of the binding
Way of the moment
Spirit of finding
Surrender the offer
Humbleness show
One of accepting
Your love to know
Beyond tongue of speaking
Souls gift to share
Deeper connection
Of the one gift we bear
