Rejoice in the Lord

In the early morning
with soft light illuminating
a green cover of grass
the birds wake to sing praises
to the Most High God,
Creator of the Universe.
With dawn painting hues
of pink, orange, gold over
the buds of spring blooming trees,
the sheep of God's pasture
and the cattle on the hills
lift their heads from grazing
and look
for the coming of the Lord
who walks through His garden.
The garden made for the relationship
He wanted to build with mankind.
Throughout the world
the children of God
rejoice in His power and glory
singing praises to the Holy Lamb of God
who sacrificed everything
for the unbroken relationship
between God and Man.
Sing with grateful hearts
Sing to the Holy One
Sing songs of joy
praising God always.
