greetings from the vikingmaiden
here is a song that was played during sunday school one sunday... didnt love the music but did love the imagery...
top of the morning --michael kelly blanchard
top of the mroning, top of the trees are shining.
God started His song and nothings gonna stop his dawning.
there, off in the distance, crows singing their chorus early.
doves giving assistance, with the waking hymn.
silently some clouds gather round a sleepy sun,
blushing with the love of early day.
a tiny little crowd in the moment of begun,
waiting for the wind to have its way.
oh, top of the morning, top of the chimneys show it.
now there's a new painting, all the rooftops take a bow.
windows are winking, letting in yellow, hello.
blinds everywhere blinking, by the breakfast bowls.
bathrooms and the kitchens are taken by surprise,
as the yawning troops all stagger in.
coffee cups and shoes and socks and droopy little eyes,
greet the growing day as it begins.
all around, town after town, a choir starts to sing.
many kinds of notes but one accord.
a thousand different "thank you's" as the church bells start to ring.
and their begotten, not forgotten, praise the Lord!
oh, top of the morning, top of the lawn has melted.
feel the warming... i got to smile, i just can't help it.
i want to go dancing... light as a leaf in autumn.
God is romaning, and He stole my heart.
oh, the simple gifts of grace that only cost yourself.
and even-steven swap for who you were.
make teh trade and put all your worries on the shelf.
the blessing is a bargain, that's for sure
