Wake up you sleepyhead sun Rise from your eastern bed Stretch and yawn, now it's time to shine And chase our shadows west Burn in your pathway across the sky And brighten up our stories Wake the continents and oceans to Another blessed morning! You are the gift, you are the proof The Lord looks down and warms my roof You are the light, you are the sign That I am loved and life is mine You even played a part On history's saddest day You closed your eyes and the world grew dark While the Father hid His face And then two more circles around the world To weep and wait for glory And then you rose to show the way On Resurrection Morning! You are the gift, you are the proof The Lord looks down and warms my roof You are the light, you are the sign That I am loved and life is mine Evening so quickly comes You're ready to kiss the sea Enhancing the colors of our skin You cast our shadows east Your blankets are fading, their purple glows Your sleepy head is turning And to our dreams we'll gladly go And see you in the morning You are the gift, you are the proof The Lord looks down and warms my roof You are the light, you are the sign That I am loved and life is mine
