After being gone from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, it was nice to see the three smiles I love the best. Here is one of them.
Since he was small, this song has always been his. I love you MJ!
Sunrise Of Your Smile
by Michael Card
Reject the worldly lie that says,
That life lies always up ahead,
Let power go before control
Becomes a crust around your soul,
Escape the hunger to possess,
And soul-diminishing success,
This world is full of narrow lives,
I pray by grace your smile survives.
Escape the hunger to possess,
And soul-diminishing success,
This world is full of narrow lives,
I pray by grace your smile survives.
Chorus
For I would wander weary miles,
Would welcome ridicule, my child,
To simply see the sunrise of your smile,
To see the light behind your eyes,
The happy thought that makes you fly,
Yes, I would wander weary miles,
To simply see the sunrise of your smile.
Would welcome ridicule, my child,
To simply see the sunrise of your smile,
To see the light behind your eyes,
The happy thought that makes you fly,
Yes, I would wander weary miles,
To simply see the sunrise of your smile.
Now close your eyes so you can see,
Your own unfinished memories,
Now open them, for time is brief,
And you'll be blest beyond belief,
Now glance above you at the sky,
There's beauty there to blind the eye,
I ask all this then wait awhile,
To see the dawning of your smile.
Chorus

Second day in a row I've teared up while reading your posts, Carol. I don't know this song, but I want to hear the tune now; the lyrics are lovely and made me think about my oldest son. He was a baby just yesterday...wasn't he?
Beautiful smile and song. I haven't heard the song either, but the words are so nice. He looks a lot like you!
beautiful smile :) I like the lyrics, too.
I read your blog early this morning and that song has been on my mind off and on all day - especially when I looked at my oldest ds. I'm going to look it up on iTunes.
You captured a beautiful smile. That's a photo to treasure.
Great picture! I do know the song and am about to go listen to it!
Very sweet combination.
