SUNRISE

October 9, 2009

Slowly it’s glory raises to the horizon
Shedding an orange glow over the earth
The sky becomes flames of fire.
The trees awaken to its warm embrace
And raise their branches in praise
To the Creator.

The birds shake out their nighttime garments,
And begin their morning worship
Awakening all creatures here below.
We rub the sleep from our eyes
Thanking Him for another day.

Then we see it, we feel it, and we are drawn into it
We hurry out into the early morning,
Crisp with autumn dew
And are embraced by it,
Our knees grow weak and our head spins
With the glory of it.

He holds us captive in His glorious embrace
And we gladly receive this blessing.

His eternal sunrise.
