We're thankful for the rising sun, for warmth and hope in the breaking dawn, for mercy, grace and creation's song, to know we have only begun giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn.
We're thankful for a life that's full, that ev'ry hour you control, for the powerful way your light breaks forth, to know we have only begun giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn.
Chorus
Lord of the dawn shine your light, change the darkness where fear dims our sight, make one more new day bright, Lord of the dawn,
We praise you for your steadfast love, from morning's light till the setting sun, ev'ry moment eternity comes, to know we have only begun giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn.
Chorus
Lord of the dawn, ev'ry day, you take doubting and darkness away, forever we give you the praise, Lord of the dawn, Lord of the dawn. Lord of the dawn, Lord of the dawn. Lord of the dawn, Lord of the dawn, shine your light, change the darkness where fear dims our sight. Make one more new day bright Lord of the dawn. Lord of the dawn, ev'ry day, you take doubting and darkness away. Forever we give you the praise Lord of the dawn, Lord of the dawn. Lord of the dawn.
