Sun

 Sun

The days first light streams
when the new day's sunbeams
brighten the sky
then morning is nigh.

There's a brightness over the hill
where sunlight awakens and spills
its light and warmth
over the earth.

Quietly rising
with song birds vying
for the first glimpse of light rays
announcing a brand new day.

Then you'll hear the day announced
from birds who you'll hear loudly mouth
through chirps and trills
and cheeps and trills...

that morning has come -
everyone come on,
get up, let's have fun
under the sun.

Morning with all its rush
comes in with a hush
before the birds announce it's a new day -
come on everyone, get up and play.

Perhaps you'll get up tomorrow
to view the sunrise that burrows
up over the hill
where sunlight spills.

It's a glorious sight to see
for it's God's awesome might you see
since the beginning of creation
when God spoke the sun into creation.

The Bible says Jesus is our light:
“I have come into the world as a light”. (John 12:46)
With Jesus for us our future is bright
as He desires to bring us delight.

Yes, there will be times when finances are tight.
There will be temptations you'll need to fight.
Life on earth was never promised to be always right.
There will seemingly be many a long, dark night.

But remember you are not alone in this fight.
Jesus has an answer to whatever is not right.
He is teaching us to live by faith, not sight
as we learn to abide in Him, so sit tight.

Jesus is our light.
Everything will turn out right.
Your future is bright.
Look for God's delights.

At the beginning of the day it's His sunlight
reminding us that Jesus is our light.
At the end of the day it's the starlight
reminding us Jesus will keep us through the night.

All through the day look for God's many delights
even during the times you pray with all your might
to overcome the temptations you fight
for those are the times that bring God delight.

It's when we seek God whatever the plight,
when we give Him whatever we fight,
when we go the source which is our Light,
that our troubles change and turn out alright.

And God said,
...and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.
And to rule over the day and over the night,
and to divide the light from darkness:
and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19

He is like the light of morning at sunrise
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain
that brings the grass from the earth.
II Samuel 23:4

I have come into the world as a light,
so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
John 12:46
