Morning Prayer

Hey Friends,

I've been doing a good bit of writing since I've been in Spain. It's one of the ways that God's been moving in me and through me. This is a poem I finished awhile ago, but I was reminded of it one morning while I watched the sunrise over the Med. So, here you go, friends:

The Poetry-Inspiring Sunrise

Morning Prayer

The birds burst forth in morning song, 

The wind flits through the leaves, 

Bright sunshine streams in light-beams long, 

And I am on my knees. 

I kneel before Creator God, 

His Son, the Prince of Peace, 

And welcome His strong Spirit near, 

His presence brings me ease. 

Before the King of Heavens High
I lift my voice, and I do cry

I carry all my burdens here
And then I lay them all to die. 

Before the empty cross of sin,
Rings music from His heavenly spheres.

Deep in my soul, truth settles in,

And swiftly quenches all my fears. 

I rise from that dear holy place, 

The place where victory's won, 

And find myself in broadening space, 

Now that the new has come.
