Early in the Morning, We Will Celebrate the Light

One of the things I totally enjoy about my current employment status is that I am able to watch the sunrise!  Those of you that do not live in the frozen tundra of ND may not realize it, but in ND winter days are very, very short.  When I was working both jobs, I rarely saw the sunrise.  I was at work before the sun came up, and sometimes arrived home after the sunset.  Yuck!

Though we do not have a sunset view in our home, we have a great view of the winter sunrise.  It is very common for me to pause midtask, grab Mataya, and run to the widow to watch the sun come up.  I always tell her that God is the most amazing artist.  

Today I was busily cooking in the kitchen when Mataya ran to me.

She grabbed my hand, pointed to the window, and yelled "Gorus!!!! Gooooorrrrrruuuusss!"

I glanced up to see the most glorious of sunrises.
(Insert my heart melting.)

We raced across the house hand-in-hand so we could soak in the sunrise together.



What an amazing way to start the day.

It caused my heart to sing this song of praise all day.


Lord of all creation
Of water, earth and sky
The heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of Heaven and earth
Lord of Heaven and earth

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
As I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of Heaven and earth
You're the Lord of Heaven and earth

Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, so holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, holy

Oh, God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, holy

Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah
