God's Smile
Oh, beautiful morning
Shine your warmth on me
And with it your grace
To reveal my love's adorning
For these lonely eyes to see
And also her loving embrace.
Oh, brand new bright day
Will you be the kind one
That does find me worthy
And gives my heart your rays
Or will you, as they've done
Before you, find me unworthy?
What grievances had they
To hide her away from me
I just can't place the blame
Oh brand new day I pray
It's not the same with thee
Please let me feel love's flame!
For this shadowed heart
Has long suffered solitude
And doubly worse it's been
To feel her somewhere apart
In some distant longitude
That I've never traveled in.
Or, perhaps in another city
Just a few short miles away
I can't say, but I do feel her
I know she lives, so take pity
Oh bright new gracious day
And allow our love to occur.
For in my constant longing
Love has cut my heart cruelly
And cast it into despairing seas
When I've done no wrong thing
Oh day, I need my love truly
For she is God's smile, to me.
Timothy I. Brumley
