A message sent to us
Each and every day
Let us turn and hear
What does the sunrise say?
Here now rest within
And draw the fresh clean air
Yesterday is gone
All is new right here
Listen now beloved
All worries to release
Soaking deep within
My precious gift of peace
Come find in my light
Through colors beautiful
Joy within the sharing
Gifts blessed unto you
Hear a voice familiar
From heaven here above
A facet of His light
One of His great love
Please dear lawmakers
I have an idea
Of One to propose
That I’d like to share
That all need a space
Of morning to be
To see the sunrise
A gift to be free
A right of each soul
Of offer each day
A seed of beauty
To start their day
The unspoken truth
For all to see
Of the treasure of grace
That we’re one body
A message of peace
Of deeper insight
To ponder the question
Who blesses the light?
In waking this morning
To pray for you this day
Something in the sunrise
Said all will be OK
Found within its beauty
All worries to release
Something in the sunrise
Spoke a gift of peace
A moment of message
For us to see
Something in the sunrise
Of blessing covers thee
For those of great faith
Knows whatever will be
Something in the sunrise
Shines of God’s glory
Igniting the sun
He set it ablaze
Through millions of miles
He sent golden rays
The entire earth
From dark of the night
He set it spinning
He turned it just right
He mixed up some colors
And painted the sky
A masterpiece moving
A feast for the eyes
A gift of sunrise
In hopes we will see
How He moves the heavens
To know He seeks me
Let’s sit in the sunrise
And bask in the light
A warming of joy
To shine with delight
Let’s rest in the silence
And dwell in Your peace
A filling of calm
All burdens release
Let’s join in creation
And sing of our song
A binding of love
To which we belong
Let’s pray in the moment
With Presence to be
With gifts of the Spirit
So grateful are we
Of nothing earned
Just blessed to be
Within the light
This morning, see
A miracle
Upon display
The dark of night
Was cast away
In stilling of
A peace in prayer
The love of God
Of which to share
In Spirits view
Beyond the eyes
A witness of
This days’ sunrise
Drawn to horizon
A turning of eyes
A gaze through the soul
To savor the sunrise
Soaking of silence
Absorbing the light
Warm flows Your love
In colors, delight
A prayer of the Spirit
A thought here to know
A dawning reflection
Of the inner glow
Outpouring of love
Of model to view
A window of offer
To share this day through
And of the sunrise
Come let me be
One that is full
Of such beauty
One to fall into
So easy to pray
Gentle the stillness
Of peace to convey
If this is your offer
Of day to begin
To see You in new ways
Oh Lord, count me in
From east to west
Your covering blessed
Let every soul turn
With faith to profess
Today I missed the sunrise
Had something quick to do
A gift that passed me by
A beauty pink and blue
A lesson here to learn
Lead my heart to say
Let me appreciate
Each moment here this day
And for all my loved ones
Let me show I care
For when tomorrow comes
That they might not be here
When I see the lonely
A gift of time to share
With a heart of compassion
And an open ear
Source of inspiration
All throughout the day
Nurturing the soul
Taking time to pray
In our Gods great love
Beginning of each day
An offering of prayer
What does the sunrise say?
Let us begin anew
Wash the old away
Shining light to all
A beautiful display
A gift freely blessed to all
Of vision, warming love
Tender touch of growth
A drawing to above
To all creation calls
The key to unity
Laying the light down
In great humility
Through the night, a lesson
Of everyday to see
For when the sunrise comes
Life after death there be
