Sky Song
Lyrics
Verse 1
Periwinkle canvas,
The dawn has just arrived.
Yellow, salmon, pink pastel
Life has been revived.
Airplane trails cross the sky,
The world is waking up.
One bird sings with no reply
And coffee fills your cup.
Chorus
Sunrise, sunset
Lord you're painting all these colors for my eyes
Sunrise, sunset
Lord you're painting all the moments of our lives.
Verse 2
Mauve and heather canvas,
The stars come into view.
Crimson, ginger, tuscan sun
All in golden hue.
Front porch lights are turning on
The moon now says "hello".
Hopeful sun is never gone
but reflected in its glow.
Chorus
Verse 3
I am not the painter,
I'm not even the paint.
I'm just a blank slate
And I sit here and wait.
I wait for the Artist
To pick up the brush,
And I can't rush
What He will create.
Chorus
Story
In my last semester of college, I made daily early morning commutes to work. Each sunrise reminded me of the hope I have that God's mercies are new each morning. As I drove, I'd try to name all of the colors I saw, but could never truly capture the lovely peace in the early morning dawn. This song is merely a snapshot of all the beautiful things God has let me witness in His creation, and the simple joys He has in store for us each day.
