God's Smile

Oh, beautiful morning Shine your warmth on me And with it your grace To reveal my love's adorning For these lonely eyes to see And also her loving embrace. Oh, brand new bright day Will you be the kind one That does find me worthy And gives my heart your rays Or will you, as they've done Before you, find me unworthy? What grievances had they To hide her away from me I just can't place the blame Oh brand new day I pray It's not the same with thee Please let me feel love's flame! For this shadowed heart Has long suffered solitude And doubly worse it's been To feel her somewhere apart In some distant longitude That I've never traveled in. Or, perhaps in another city Just a few short miles away I can't say, but I do feel her I know she lives, so take pity Oh bright new gracious day And allow our love to occur. For in my constant longing Love has cut my heart cruelly And cast it into despairing seas When I've done no wrong thing Oh day, I need my love truly For she is God's smile, to me. Timothy I. Brumley
