Awaken the Dawn

"I will wake the dawn with my song." Psalm 57:8

The past many mornings, the first thing I hear after our alarm has jolted me awake is the sound of birds welcoming the morning. Their songs cascade through the silence. I enjoy laying in bed, eyes still closed, listening to their praise to their Creator. Even rain doesn't silence their melody. It rises and falls through the storm as they rejoice always.

Oh, to live like these feathered friends. Not fair weather worshippers of God, but singing His praise all day, regardless of feelings and situations. We don't sing because things are good, but because God is good. He cannot change Who He is...He is always good. He cannot be other than who He is, and that is good.

I desire to wake each dawn with my song. Anyone want to sing a duet with me today?

Awaken

Wake up, sleeping soul, the gift of light unfolds
Slowly the night gives way before the dawning day.

Shine in, O morning light, chase back the shades of night.
Fill my heart with a song; silence has reigned too long

I will awaken the dawn, be the first voice of praise with a song till the morning joins in and creation begins to awake to the sound of this song.

High as the heav'ns above so great is the Father's love, love unconditionally rejoicing over me.

I will awaken the dawn, be the first voice of praise with a song till the morning joins in and creation begins to awake to the sound of this song.

Yo quiero cantar confelicidad porque tu renuevas mi ser al amanecer. Alma, despiertaya, huye laoscuridad. Venga ala santa luz de El Senor Jesus.

I will awaken the dawn, be the first voice of praise with a song till the morning joins in and creation begins to awake to the sound of this song. (repeat) to awake to the sound of this song, to awake to the sound of this song.
