Lyrics:

At day's beginning, Lord,
sweet, new-made sunlight pours
upon us as your mercies do.
They have their source in you.

Within this quiet time,
your leadings come to mind,
and we lift to you day's events,
like children, to be blessed.

For you have known through Christ
what earthly walk is like.
In any places, on all roads,
your love precedes, unfolds.

With Christ and Spirit, you
have sought us, seen us through....
In that light, too, Lord, we'd remain—
Created. Saved. Sustained.

Within this quiet time,
your leadings come to mind,
and we bring to you day's events
or people to be blessed.

For you have known through Christ
our lives of depths and heights.
In any places, on all roads,
your Love precedes, unfolds.

With Christ and Spirit, you
have sought us, see us through....
And so we move with outlook framed:
Created. Saved. Sustained.

 

This is a general song about starting the day with God. It can be for personal or church use, especially for Trinity Sunday, the week after Pentecost.

Some choices for verses 2-4 provide slightly different emphases. The final verse on the right makes the piece more a "sending song."
