We're thankful for the rising sun
For warmth and hope in the breaking dawn
For mercy, grace and creation's song
To know we have only begun 
Giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn

We're thankful for a life that's full
That every hour you control
For the powerful way your light breaks forth
To know we have only begun
Giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn shine Your light
Change the darkness where fear dims our sight
Make one more new day bright
Lord of the dawn

We praise You for Your steadfast love
From morning's light 'til the setting sun
Every moment eternity comes
To know we have only begun
Giving thanks to the Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn shine Your light
Change the darkness where fear dims our sight
Make one more new day bright
Lord of the dawn
Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn, every day,
You take doubting and darkness away
Forever we give You the praise 
Lord of the dawn
Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn
Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn, shine your light
Change the darkness where fear dims our sight
Make one more new day bright 
Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn, every day
You take doubting and darkness away
Forever we give you the praise 
Lord of the dawn
Lord of the dawn

Lord of the dawn
