A Place In The Sun God’s Sun of Earth, you've caught us in your gravity, Like tethered on a string, we’re pulled around your glow, Your light and energy support all living things— You are the center of our Galaxy, we know. Our Sun, God’s beacon shinning down on us each day Embraces us in warmth and knowledge that His gift Holds answer to the way our Galaxy exists With Sun, the center of all life, in space adrift. We look for you at break of dawn each brand new morn And feel the surge of hope you bring for our new start; Your brilliant rays above the clouds take breath away… We feel the reign of God behind your beating heart. At sunset in the soothing glow of earthly dusk, We feel the calmness that flows through our quiet soul… Our God of glory reigns within your dimming light To grant the peace of night and wake refreshed and whole. Oh Sun of Earth, you've caught us in your gravity, But hand of God created life for us through you… The miracles of life sustained by Sun’s great force Were planned and shaped by our Creator’s imaged view. © Sandra M.
