I awaken from darkness like the early morning star,
Ready to shine like Jesus to those near and far.
As the thick clouds hurl rain on fertile grounds,
I rehearse God’s promises to those all around.
Nature’s Redwood trees resists the fierce winds,
Spiritual men withstand evil days in wicked lands.
Springtime flowers give aromas to new beginnings,
Even so, college couples relish into new pinning’s.
As oceans host its innumerable fishes of the Seas,
Christ’s disciples instill knowledge like honey-bees.
When rushing rivers run deep into big blue bays,
My soul yearns for comfort in the Lord’s Holy Place.
As the animals of the earth find their morning meals,
My soul finds daily food in the Bible like hungry seals.
As birds secure their nest in lofty trees and mountains,
My soul longs for Christ’s forever flowing fountains.
As Nature discloses its beautiful majestic scenes,
How beautiful the feet who preach Christ unseen.
