Sometimes I wake up early,
before the day's first light,
and lying in bed I hear
and lying in bed I hear
the dawn chorus:
a feathered choir of songsters
a feathered choir of songsters
greeting the sunrise,
calling my name,
calling my name,
announcing a cappella,
"This is the day the Lord has made,
be glad in it - rejoice!
"This is the day the Lord has made,
be glad in it - rejoice!
And in this morning music comes
the plaintive cry of the mourning dove,
reminding me:
should sorrow come my way today
you'll sing your song of healing, Lord,
a comfort for my soul...
you'll sing your song of healing, Lord,
a comfort for my soul...
A blessed way to start the day:
nature chanting psalmody
nature chanting psalmody
of praise and thanks,
of sorrow and lament,
of sorrow and lament,
of faith and hope and love,
interceding always
and lifting high my heart, my prayer to you...
and lifting high my heart, my prayer to you...
Keep my soul through one more night, Lord:
wake me early before dawn
wake me early before dawn
that I might hear and join in
the chorus of your glory,
a new day's prayer of thanks and praise,
the chorus of your glory,
a new day's prayer of thanks and praise,
a gift of grace from you...
Protect me, Lord, as I lie awake
and watch over me as I sleep
to rest all night in safety and early rise
to praise your name...
Amen.
Tonight's music is directly from nature!
