Wake up you
sleepyhead sun
Rise from your
eastern bed
Stretch and yawn
now it's time
to shine
And chase our
shadows west
Burn in your
pathway across
the sky
And brighten
up our stories
Wake the
continents and
oceans to
Another
blessed morning
You are the gift
you are the proof
The Lord
looks down and
warms my roof
You are the light
you are the sign
That I am
loved and life
is mine
You even
played a part
On history's
saddest day
You closed your
eyes and the
world grew dark
While the Father
hid his face
And then two
more circles
around the world
To weep and
wait for glory
And then you
rose to show
the way
On Resurrection
Morning
You are the gift
you are the proof
The Lord
looks down and
warms my roof
You are the light
you are the sign
That I am
loved and
life is mine
Evening so
quickly comes
You're ready
to kiss the sea
Enhancing the
colors of
our skin
You cast our
shadows east
Your blankets
are fading
their purple glows
Your sleepy
head is turning
And to our
dreams we'll
gladly go
and see you
in the morning
You are the gift
you are the proof
The Lord
looks down and
warms my roof
You are the light
you are the sign
That I am
loved and life
is mine
You are the gift
you are the proof
The Lord
looks down and
warms my roof
You are the light
you are the sign
That I am
loved and life
is mine
