My eyes opened at sunrise to witness the dawn
God opened the curtains to show me the day
The nature provided, highlighted by the sun
Told me to be grateful as I knelt down to pray
I went to bed praying that if I should rise
Let the sun on my brow, be the day’s start
For when I awakened, to my surprise
T’is not on my brow, but was there in my heart
God gave me a gift of scents and of scenes
He allowed me the joy of greeting the new day
So now I have learned what love really means
So each morning I rise, I will kneel down and pray
I will give thanks to the One who gave us the gifts
I will give thanks that He allowed me more time
I will give reverence, eternal, to the power that lives
As the power is yielded when He makes the day mine
