As I awake each morning to the
splendor of the light of a new day
My soul is immersed in the
immensity of so much beauty.
The colors of the dawn tell me that we are
his workmanship
To be thankful and live each day with joy.
The rays of sunshine that
pass through my window
Enliven my being to remind
me that we are also light.
To be light in the midst of the
darkness of a corrupt world is a virtue
That light that shines when I forget
the complaints to be thankful every morning.
We turn on a light when
we love with intensity
Expressing words of love that
soften hardened hearts.
Speaking the truth that
illuminates confused minds
Reflecting that light that never
goes out and shines into eternity.
That light that makes us cry out
for justice and proclaim liberty
That light is his love that reflects
the greatness of his immensity.
