Early Morning Peace

As I woke up early one morning Before the sun came up I made myself a pot of coffee And poured a hot steaming cup Walked outside with my cup in hand Looked up at the darkened sky Felt a sudden tug at my heart And I wasn't sure just why I felt such peacefulness inside Felt the presence of God near by My worries were dismissed right then And there was a tear in my eye I realized how important it was To believe in God so strong It gives me a firm direction I always know where it is I belong Nature is so close to God, don't you think? That when I look around it astounds me The flowers, the lakes, trees and birds Heavenly creations surround me But the mornings, if one's not hurried With the fresh dew on the ground Can find such peace and pleasure As the birds peep their soft morning sound!
