as the light of dawn

As the light of dawn awakens earth’s creatures
And stirs into song the birds of the morning
So may I be brought to life this day
Rising to see the light, to hear the wind,
To smell the fragrance of what grows from the ground
To taste its fruits and touch its textures
So may my inner senses be awakened to you
So may my senses be awakened to you O God

In the silence of the morning I am alive to the new day’s light
Alert to the early stirrings of the wind and the first sounds of the creatures
In the silence of my heart I hear the yearnings that are in me and the fears
The hopes that rise from within and the doubts that trouble my soul
In the beginnings of this day O God,
Before the night’s stillness is lost to the day’s busyness
Open to me the treasures of my inner being that I may draw on wisdom
Assure me again of my origins in you
Assure me again that my true depths are of you

i watch this morning
03:23
|
|||
|
I watch this morning for the light that the darkness has not overcome
I watch for the fire that burns still in the brilliance of the rising sun
I watch for the glow of life that gleams in the growing earth
And glistens in sea and sky

before me
03:25
|
|||
|
Before me, around me,within me I look for your life-giving mystery O God
I look for shinings of the everlasting light
Before me in the planned shape of this day
I look for unexpected surgings of new life
Around me in the people whom I know and love
I look for unopened gifts of promise
.....within me in the sanctuary of my own soul
I look for shinings of the everlasting light

|
The strength of the rising sun
The strength of the swelling sea
The strength of the high mountains
The strength of the fertile plains
The strength of the everlasting river
Flowing in me and through me this day
The strength of the river of God
Flowing in me and through me this day
|
||||
6. |
you are above me
03:00
|
|||
|
You are above me O God, you are within
You are in all things yet contained by no thing
Teach me to seek you in all that has life
That I may see you as the light of life
Teach me to search for you in my own depths
That I may find you in every living soul
|
||||
7. |
||||
|
In this great river of life that flows behind and before me
Let me know that I am carried by you
In this great river of life that flows around me and through me
Let me know that I carry you

i step from the day
03:07
|
|||
|
I step from the day into the night with a desire to be still
And in being still to turn to you O God
And in turning to you to return to the creative depths of my soul
At the setting of the sun, in the darkness of night
I turn to you
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
May the grace of the night’s stillness be mine
May the grace of the moon’s guidance be mine
May the grace of heaven’s vastness be mine
To renew my soul in sleep
To enlighten my dreams in the night
To open my spirit to eternity
Until the angels of light awaken me
Until the morning angels awaken me
