I Welcome Mornings
My Lord it's you
You're why I greet each and every day
The reason why I anticipate a brand
New beginning
You are the first thought
My first breath
The dark skies give way
Gently, quietly and expectantly
You are the gift giver
The protector of my sleeping flesh
The stars have all faded
One by one into the clouds
You've carefully chosen your paint brush
And your unique color scheme
The bird's are rehearsing, rejoicing in song
And I am listening...eagerly awaiting
Your sun-gift, your promise
Your guidance, your presence
The goodness, the glory
The ginormous light
You burst through in the distance
And I stare in awe
I'm frozen in time as if it's new to my eyes
My heart stands still beholding a miracle
You are there-you were always there
And I begin to cry
I never noticed you before
I paid no attention whatsoever
Yet you don't hold that against me
You love me still and you greet me with another day
A brand new day
You My Lord
You are the very reason
I welcome mornings
