The sun arose and filled my eyes
With heavenly glory personified
Tears down my face did solemnly pour
I stood transfixed, and begged for more
Golden rays lit up the new morn sky
With brilliant spectacle for the eye
With mouth agape I did profoundly stare
And wonder what God’s doing up there
To me He gave such wondrous gift
That my poor spirit felt tremendous lift
To my knees I should have promptly fallen
But I could not move despite hearing Him callin’
Frozen in place with feet on the soil
I praised the Lord’s amazing toil
For humankind: to free our souls
From worries: to give us lofty goals
Reaching deeply into my empty purse
I feared God’s wrath, or maybe worse
Instead my heart did nearly burst
With joy: I knew I was not cursed
The sun arose and filled my eyes
With heavenly glory personified
