I WATCHED THE SUN COME UP
I watched the sun come up this morning;
It was a beautiful thing to behold.
As light came from the darkness;
And suddenly a burst of rays of gold.
All the colors of the rainbow;
Began to spread across the sky.
Light began to envelope creation;
Missing noting as it passed by.
On and on the light went shining;
Send darkness on the run.
Until all darkness had been abolished;
And creation now bask in the sun.
I watched the Son come up this morning;
On a life that in sin was born.
As light burst through the darkness;
To begin to mend that which sin had torn.
The healing of a mind, body, soul and spirit;
Was suddenly made all new.
The dreams and visions of days past;
Were no longer dead, but now true.
On and on that Son went shining;
Sending demons on the run.
Until all darkness had been abolished;
And creation was cover by blood of the Son.
I watched the sun come up this morning;
The rays began to touch heavens shore.
As the bonds began to be broken;
On a life humanity held no more.
All the colors of the rainbow;
Began to spread across the sky.
While on the other side the light began to fade;
Though to hold it hard we did try.
For there to be a sunrise on heavens shore;
On earth some must be left alone.
Our hearts must break and tears must we shed;
So my mother can say, “I survived, I made it home.”
