First Light I Live For

First light of morn, I live for
The dark of night my soul forgave
Forthwith, I needed light
Night lingered like the grave.

Oh, what warm embrace with smile
I revel in light for a while
Henceforth, the Source I see
It gets me on my knees.

Light, water, fresh air I feel
Fortifies every part of me
Therefore, my honey feels
My tender touch from Thee.

Oh it's more than romance, Michael. It's affirmation, too.
