Like The Sun

Like the rays of morning sunriseGently stroking flower and fruit,Drawing out the hidden sweetnessThat lies waiting in its root,So our Father, gently calls usTo a higher fuller life,Drawing out our own true natureFree from sorrow, free from strife.

Like The Sun

Just as scorching midday sunshineBeating down on land and seaDraws out harmful, excess moisturestrengthening each fruitful tree,So our Father sternly points usTo a life of sacrifice,Drawing out all harmful weaknessBurning up all trace of vice.

Like The Sun

Like the sun, which disappearingLeaves the world in cold dark night,but returns to us each morningBearing gifts of warmth and light,So our Father in His wisdomMay appear to hide His face.We are sure of His returning,Bearing gifts of love and grace.
