From my open window enters the morning light
What delight will this new day bring -- this day of new beginnings?
There, there it sits, the Cathedral of Notre Dame la Grande
The external lights of this majestic building flicker as the sun shines brightly above
God's gift of grace is light -- light that breaks through the cloak of night.
From my open window enters the morning light
What delight will this new day bring -- this day of new beginnings?
Far below my open window is the screeching -- screeching of fighting cats
A cat is surprised by an uninvited guests and another whines for love
God's gift of grace is light -- light that breaks the cloak of night.
From my open window enters the morning light
What delight will this new day bring -- this day of new beginnings?
Listen -- listen and you will hear the stirring, tossing sea
Across the moving water, drops of sunshine shimmer across the passing sea
God's gift of grace is light -- light that breaks the cloak of night.
From my open window enters the morning light
What delight will this new day bring -- this day of new beginnings?
From there quiet, restful night comes the sound of noisy birds
No, not sounds of grief or cries of despair, but songs of joy...
God's gift of grace is light -- light that breaks the cloak of night.
From my open window enters the morning light
What delight will this new day bring -- this day of new beginnings?
Once surrounded by the darkness of the finished day
I awaken to joy -- joy that welcomes the sounds of the morning
God's new gift breaks through the night and calls the world into life
The temple with its beauty rejoices with me in the new day
The frightened cats rejoice with me in the new day
The restless sea rejoices with me in the new day
The birds with their sound of joy rejoices with me in this new day
And once again God's grace breaks through the retreating night.
