|
Wake up you sleepyhead sun |
|
Rise from your eastern bed |
|
Stretch and yawn, now it's time to shine |
|
And chase our shadows west |
|
Burn in your pathway across the sky |
|
And brighten up our stories |
|
Wake the continents and oceans to |
|
Another blessed morning! |
|
You are the gift, you are the proof |
|
The Lord looks down and warms my roof |
|
You are the light, you are the sign |
|
That I am loved and life is mine |
|
You even played a part |
|
On history's saddest day |
|
You closed your eyes and the world grew dark |
|
While the Father hid His face |
|
And then two more circles around the world |
|
To weep and wait for glory |
|
And then you rose to show the way |
|
On Resurrection Morning! |
|
You are the gift, you are the proof |
|
The Lord looks down and warms my roof |
|
You are the light, you are the sign |
|
That I am loved and life is mine |
|
Evening so quickly comes |
|
You're ready to kiss the sea |
|
Enhancing the colors of our skin |
|
You cast our shadows east |
|
Your blankets are fading, their purple glows |
|
Your sleepy head is turning |
|
And to our dreams we'll gladly go |
|
And see you in the morning |
|
You are the gift, you are the proof |
|
The Lord looks down and warms my roof |
|
You are the light, you are the sign |
|
That I am loved and life is mine |
