I Awaken With the New Sunrise
As the dreary night slowly vanishes,
taking along the weary stars,
but the wakeful moon decides to stay...
I awaken with the new sunrise
admiring the glimmering sea
with colors resembling diamonds!
I breathlessly wonder
why God has created it
with a painter's hand,
and giving us that joy...
a devine joy as a reminder:
that all He has made is entirely His;
and in the same manner
we care for our bodies
with much preoccupation,
we must take care of all creation,
so that our children
can enjoy it indefinitely!
Among fields of jacandra and dandelions swaying,
I awaken with the new sunrise in sheer delight...
to face life as it was when nobody was there;
and we can imagine the thought running
through God's mind to put a human being there:
to watch and control the beautiful earth!
I awaken with the new sunrise,
to discover a small bird soaring...
going further and further up until
he has picked up the speed of an eagle;
I awaken with the new sunrise...rejoicing,
opening up my spirit to a song of praise!
If I'm still living, I owe it to my Lord,
and there aren't days I don't proclaim His word...
when I awaken with the new sunrise,
and I gladly watch the golden sun radiantly rise!
