Vital Faith

When I awoke and saw the dawn I sighed for thee
Yearnings ached within myself
Once I had that windfall of unimaginable strength
A strength that could only breathe where faith and beauty met
Here and now
In search of just a glimpse of my shadow
Transparent as the weeping tears of dew
I care not for the promises of this new born day
Nothing more than a child to me
Learning to walk, to speak
I asked the Lord to make me stronger
And as his reassuring presence moved within myself
As my mind was settled
My spirit soothed
Vital faith restored
When I awoke and saw the dawn I smiled for thee
