When the rising sun shows her first light of day
And the morning chorus shouts for the joy of life,
When the dew laden flowers raise their petals
To the new sun, I thank God we are together this day.
Each day that dawns anew is a treasure of it’s own
A gift for us to cherish, and see and learn all we can,
A little more time together, a little more love to share
So we should see at day’s end how much love has grown.
Do we sing for joy with the dawns chorus of our love?
Do we try our best to be worthy of another new day?
Do we try our best to learn and love a little more?
And so show in our actions that we continue in love.
Then as the day drifts to it’s close in simple grace
And the nightly shadows creep from east to west,
I thank my God again to have you by my side,
And feel our love grow stronger as I gaze into you face.
Another day together another chance for love to grow
Another chance to show that love to others around,
Another way of learning that we are trying for heaven
The more time we are together the more we surely know
That God has a great love for us and wants us both to try
To be worthy of His kingdom and the blessing of eternity.
