SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN

I based this on the famous Johnny Cash song by the same title but staged it on a Beach Scene where we were staying in a vacation condo setting.

Daybreak dawning on the beach

On sifting sands of golden brown;

Golden sunrise meets the lazy sky

---Sunday Morning Coming Down.

The beach is empty---all forlorn

Not a single tan swimmer in sight;

Silver Seagulls gather one by one

---Wing tips dazzled by morning light.

Schools of fish become the Choir

Dolphins sing as in ancient lore;

The organic organ is the ocean's roar

--=While waves start arriving on shore.

The whole sea becomes our Sanctuary

The long sacred altar our cathedral sky;

We hold sea shells up to yearning ears

-----And hear voices from up on high.

There's nothing quite like a Sunday beach

Bathed in Mother Nature's surround sound

Welcome---- come and worship our Creator

------Sunday Morning's Coming Down.

Oh, this is so upbeat - just filled with praise to our Creator! I absolutely love the idea of the whole sea becomes our Sanctuary, the long sacred altar our cathedral sky!!
A favorite of mine for certain!! The message is superb - the beat supreme!
