Endless Sunrise

Into the endless sunrise

I ever look to the eastern skies

For his light  ever dawns And I will look to see.

This endless sunrise within me.

Now Christ's endless glory fills my eyes

And his endless radiance will ever be my prize.

Though my eyes may dim, his glory still will blaze

And still the eyes of my heart shall be amazed!

As I lift up my head in endless praise.

For the joy of the cross

For the completionÝ of your plan

Finishing your perfect work

Of reconciling God and man.

You laid down your life- you alone had that right

Then you took it up again and arose in radiant light!

And so that was not the end- so now it begins

Now that light stillÝ overwhelms my eyes

With that light I will shine when I arise

I will live in the light of your endless sunrise.

Into the endless sunrise

My soaring soul in rapture flies

Like a moth to theÝ radient flame I am drawn

To be swallowed up in an endless dawn.
