A song of praise at sunrise

How sweet is the light of the sun when it is welcomed with thankful lips

Sing a song of praise to your God.
Lift his Name as high as you can,
And when you get tired, hand the baton of praise
To another who can share in this ministry of joy.
Praise God not for what He has done -
Though He deserves that too.
No, praise him for who he is.
Praise him for being love.
Praise him for being truth.
Praise him for being more than enough.
Praise him for the sharpness of his eyes,
Seeing every step your weary feet takes.
Praise him for his continuously listening ears,
Hearing not only those unspoken sighs at midnight,
But even those quiet breaths when words fail.
Praise him this very moment,
For making you the apple of his eye.
Praise the Creator of heaven and earth
For depositing a spirit of creation inside your soul.
Praise the Healer of broken hearts
For turning you into a healer of hearts too.
Praise God, the giver of life,
For giving you another day,
Brimming with opportunities
To give your tongue another chance,
And another,
To reach its first purpose
In singing ceaseless praise
Of the One on the throne of heaven,
for the rest of your days.

I truly love this

Praise is the source of true happiness

Giving all this love in word and action towards God

I feel so warm reading this one

Thank you.
December 2015 was an experiment of "100% spiritual" poems......I think I should do that again and "fast" "secular" poems for a month again.....:)

Have you ever tried fasting ..... like the way we do it ... from dawn till sunset
oh my ..... dude ..... i promise you everything inside you will feel so spiritual ..... i cant wait to do it

[SleeplessVolcano]

I do, but in a different way.....I drink water, but I do not eat when the sun is down....and it can go on, from anything from 1-40 days......though obviously I am not spiritual enough to have done a 40 day one yet...:P

[Nisreen]

no water until sunset
its a challenge .... i am gonna do it .... though i am not supposed to but i will .... its a challenge for me too

[SleeplessVolcano]

[Nisreen]

Well if you have any body illness ... you shoudnt fast ... and you can make it up .... so you dont faint its supposed to be something you do with joy .... not pain
