The dawning sun rises
A glorious sight
We hear our soul whisper
Come, morning light
Warming the skin
With rays that outpour
Something within
Needs even more
A stirring desire
Of longing to find
One that’s engrained
In all of mankind
A welcoming Spirit
Through soul to be willed
Of light to receive
With love to be filled
Passing through the kitchen
A sight caught my view
I saw something more
Than light shining through
A pause in the vision
To let it surround
To soak in its rays
It’s gifts to be found
Just to be loved
In this moment here
The unseen of seeing
Of heaven, aware
The sense of to be
The soul to alight
A sacrament holy
Blessed in Your light
Of welcomed acceptance
Complete Your embrace
With Word of beyond
A knowing of grace
Light upon water
That sparkles and shines
Captures my soul
Of drawing divine
Sometimes a thousand
Diamonds to see
Announcing a vison
Of Gods great glory
Or waves of moment
Of offer to lift
As beacons of light
Shares joy as their gift
Once in a while
Of pouring within
As a pool of light
Draws the soul in
All that I know
Is it’s drawing to pray
That moves me beyond
To shine the same way
A lesson Mom taught me
That I cling to tight
A vocation of calling
Is led by the light
In the early dawning
A heartwarming sight
She’s packing our lunches
In the morning light
She’s making a home
In these four walls of white
Cleaning and scrubbing
By the mid days light
With homework and driving
She sings with delight
In making our dinner
In the setting light
With prayer and a story
She tucks us in tight
It’s love she is living
Under the stars light
Come sit in My light
In and above
Bask in the warmth
Of knowing My love
Come rest in My light
In silence of song
Safe and secure
That you always belong
Come dwell in My light
Of healing embrace
Of unending mercy
Your covered in grace
Come follow My light
With love intervening
My purpose you’ll find
That gives life your meaning
When it’s overwhelming
In the valley of night
A thought for the dwelling
A truth of insight
All the worlds’ darkness
Of power and might
Can’t extinguish the flame
Of one candles’ light
So, let your light shine
For all to see
That of your good works
With His love joyfully
With a heart of faith
And soul quick to say
To glorify God
And His heavenly way
If the soul is willing
Of humble letting go
Found within each dawning
A gift for us to know
Between the dark and light
A glimpse of the divine
A treasure of the capture
To stir this soul of mine
Appearing in horizon
The Spirit shining bright
We present our being
To being of the light
The desire of mankind
Offered in the finding
To know the love of God
So easy is the binding
Between heaven and earth
In this moment here
The entrance to this calling
Is but a simple prayer
In Church of the dwelling
An insight to gaze
The light of reflection
In so many ways
Through the stained glass
On bright and gray days
A humble gift shared
On altar it lays
Of gold tabernacle
On candlesticks, blaze
Of instruments, holy
Of crucifix praise
To stir deep our prayer
Your insight, amaze
The reflection of soul
Of Your light, always
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
Oh. God of unseen
So grateful to be
The windows of light
That You bless to me
One of our treasure
That we hold dear
Our binding together
Through the gift of prayer
In wonder of nature
The souls’ blessed to see
From flower to sky
Infinite beauty
The souls of our way
Unique colors to shine
Your facets of love
Of touching divine
