This song came to me early on a Sunday morning, in late September. I was taking a short prayer-walk— just before sunrise— heading eastward.
I don't remember if the sugar maples along the road had already started to color. But as the sun began baptizing the new splendors of the morning around me, the words and music of this simple little hymn started singing together in my heart.
It's one of my wife Janice's favorites; she probably doesn't remember it was written a day before her birthday.

FULL LYRICS:
ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A MORNING
1.Only God can make a morning full of mystery and bliss!
Only God can make a new day with beauty like this,
Turn the star-shine to sunrise, as the day begins to glow,
While the night-song falls silent 'mid the splendors below,
And we worship You, Lord, O Lord, our Lord, dear Lord,
And we worship You, Lord, our Lord so high.
2.Only God can make a morning full of majesty so bold,
Touch the clouds on the horizon, and paint them with gold;
Bring the birds to full chorus, as He sets His torch ablaze,
While His awe settles o’er us, as we think on His ways,
And we worship You, Lord, O Lord, our Lord, dear Lord,
And we worship You, Lord, our Lord so high.
3.Only God can make a morning like the one that soon will be,
When the Savior comes in splendor and bright majesty;
When we see You, Lord Jesus, Your bright angels circling 'round,
And the King of all Glory in His glory comes down,
We will worship You, Lord, O Lord, our Lord, dear Lord,
We will worship You, Lord, our Lord so high.
