“Early Morning Dawns and the Spirit Rises” Song Video
With all the challenges in our lives and in the world, we may not waken to the wonders all around us. Spring is my favorite time of year. Daffodils, tulips, redbud trees, dogwood trees, and azaleas are showing off their bright, multicolored beauty. When I stop to breathe in the beauty, the lovely creation fills my heart with hope.
When we celebrate every morning with expectation and gratitude, we open ourselves to the Spirit’s marvelous surprises and joy.
Early morning dawns and the Spirit rises,
bringing hope anew with Her bold surprises.
Celebrate the dawn of a glorious morning,
filling Earth with joy, everyone transforming.
