Dawn and dusk, the quiet times of day when we can put all our troubles, worries, chores aside for a few minutes and just be still. I love an early morning stroll, listening to the earth waking, watching the arrival of a new day and witnessing the presence of God in our midst…

IN QUIET TIME

Oh how blest each day is

in the early quiet time

just as morning is breaking

as the dawn starts to shine

above the mountains

and glitter through the leaves.

There is such a peaceful presence

while birds waking in the trees

begin to twitter, chirp

and there’s the slightest ripple of a breeze

that whispers of God’s love

as morning breaks, banishes night

and lights the skies above

in this quiet time of dawning

when God gives us a new day

as in the hush of early morning

the whole earth seems to pray.

Then all the birds start singing

with joy their songs of praise

to their God, their creator,

the same God in which I believe

as in this quiet time of early morning

His blessings I receive.

Oh how I love to walk and sit and listen

as morning begins to shine,

to spend time with my Lord and Savior

in this so special quiet time.

How glorious the dawning,

the gift of a new day

and with the birds all singing

my heart too lifts in songs of praise.
