The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun
Before Abraham was, I am….
John 8:58 (NKJV)
All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:3-4 (NKJV)
Ryan has given me a gift and I am totally into it. He knows I love music, but little does he know how special gifts of music are to me.
I stand at the open door as arctic-like air sticks to my face. It’s the start of a glorious new day and the sun is getting right to it ... lifting its bountiful rays onto frost-covered roofs. Silver-gray clouds hang overhead like warriors’ arrows waiting to be strung, anxious to plunder the crisp air. The mountains seem closer than usual, encrusted in pink dust—their color and mood matching the music from my Bose CD player. The sweet sound of Ryan’s gift treats my soul. Celtic Woman has transplanted me into some mysterious northern kingdom as Chloe, Maev, Lisa, Mairead, Orla and Hailey take me by the hand and introduce the new day. Their tender harmonies and moving words guide me to the Ancient of Days. This has become a toast to my Lord and the glorious moment of here and now.
I whisper, “Thank you, Ryan.”
And now I share their words with you….
The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun
High is the moon tonight…
Hiding its guiding light,
High.
Heaven and earth do sleep,
Still in the dark so deep,
I will the darkness sweep…
I will the moon to flight,
I will the heavens bright,
I will the earth delight…
Open your eyes with me,
See the paradise with me,
Awake and arise with me…
I am the Dawn; I’m the new day
begun;
I bring you the morning; I bring you
the sun;
I hold back the night and I open
the skies;
I give light to the world; I give sight
to your eyes;
From the first of all time, until Time
is undone,
Forever and ever and ever and ever,
And I am the Dawn and the Sky
and the Sun—
I am one with the One … and I am—
the Dawn.
I am the Sky and the Dawn and
the Sun,
I am the Sky and the New Day
begun,
I am the Sky and the Dawn and
the Sun…
