Gently

Gently the sun
Peeks over the horizon
Nudging the day awake
Warming the earth

Gently the waves
Meet the sand
Breaking and receding
In a rhythm of serenity

Gently the songs are sung
In our hearts and in our souls
Whether songs of joy or sorrow
The gentle songs of life, light our way

Genthy a light glimmers then glows 
Until it is burning brightly
Just as the faith inside me has been revealed
Gently, then with vigor and intensity

Gently the baby is born 
In a quiet stable to a faithful servant
Quietly among the animals in the stable
The King of all makes his entrace in the world

Gently those we love have come into our lives
And touched us deeply and richly
And gently they are gone again
And we are never the same.

Gently.
