Christmas has come and the New Year is beckoning. May Christ Jesus and the renewal of His Life in you be the center of your days, weeks and months of 2008. This is a great poem/song that helps translate the beauty and grace of God's original creation into the "recreation" (what a great word!) of each new day. Lord bless our friends in this new season and smile broadly on them, their loved-ones and the work of their hands.
Morning Has Broken
lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Thanks for reminding me of this Cat Stevens' song.. I didn't know the story behind.
Blessings, Bob
