<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Rising early in the morning I watched the sun, rise.<\/span><\/div>\n
Its warmth and beauty filled my soul as I heard the seagull’s cry.<\/span><\/div>\n
I walked along the seashore as a breeze gently blew.<\/span><\/div>\n
And in that precise moment I felt his presence and knew\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
The day was almost over, time does not stand still.<\/span><\/div>\n
I asked my heavenly father to show me his perfect will\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
He whispered softly to me, are you ready for that my child.<\/span><\/div>\n
I answered a most assuredly, Yes Lord, and stood quietly to hear\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Love others without question, stick closer than a brother, <\/span><\/div>\n
Honor your father and your mother.<\/span><\/div>\n
With all your heart, delight yourself in me.<\/span><\/div>\n
My perfect will is this child; that all mankind would know.<\/span><\/div>\n
My perfect love is what I give, because I love them so\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Oh, open your eyes and see beyond the curtain, life is waiting for you now!<\/span><\/div>\n
I only ask that you seek me; with your whole heart kneel and bow\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
I loved you from the beginning and I love you now\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
Lift up your eyes from whence cometh your help\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
See me from the inside out\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
What more can I do I\u2019ve given all; give your life, and take the call<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve called you to serve, stand humble yet tall.<\/span><\/div>\n
I am God; I am your Abba; The First and The Last<\/span><\/div>\n
Give me your heart that\u2019s all I ask.<\/span><\/div>\n
