Sunrise

Am C G

In your tender mercies
You sent the sunrise
Upon a life so dark

With your great compassion
You lifted my eyes
to see the beauty of your heart


Oh  D, Am C (Em)
D Am C G

Though my face was downcast
Like a weeping outcast
The sun has dried my tears

For now I'm safe inside
Those arms stretched out wide
Where your love takes away my fears

Oh

So when the warmth of the sun
Shines down on this one
It melts my heart of ice

Though outside it's snowing
I'll keep on growing
For you breathe in me new life

the Favorite (F6, C G Am)
(2x)
The light shines in the darkness
And the darkness will not win.
For Jesus the son died for this one.
And took away my sins. Yes he takes away my sins.

optional repeat of first chorus

Wrote this one as I was quite moved by Luke 1:77-79 in particular the image in verse 78, in bold font below
"to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
