Praise for the singing, praise for the morning, Praise for the springing fresh from the world


From the archives:

Another sunrise from Lake Little Grassy.  Taken a couple years after the other recent post.  This trip was for a "visioning" meeting at our Church.  This was a part of a process that led to an expansion effort.  I believe this image was autumn of 2004.


The post title is from Cat Stevens' "Morning Has Broken", which peaked at #6 in 1972.

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day


Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world
