IN THE BLUE BOWL OF THE MORNING SKY
Please wait briefly while audio loads.
I woke up this morning.
God had created a beautiful breakfast for me.
It was a feast!
He always makes feasts...
In the blue bowl of the morning sky
He had dropped a shimmering yellow peach for me.
It shown up brightly
into my sleepy eyes.
And then, over all
that fruit of His light,
He poured a sweet white milk of His clouds.
I ate heartily
and the meal made me sing, real loud!—
as those who feast with God
always sing.
And so I made this little song
of words,
and it says
Praise!
and... Thank you!
