The morn was dark
With silence deep,
When I awakened from my sleep.
The air was cool,
And soon I heard
The single song of one small bird.
Its praises sang out,
Sweet and clear,
"Awaken friends, the Lord is near!"
Another voice rang out,
Its song was loud and deep,
"Oh for Pete's sake, Charlie!
It's 3'oclock in the morning!
Go back to sleep!"
And so, we all went back to bed,
These little birds' songs in my head.
I had a smile upon my face,
While Jesus whispered in my ear,
"See you later, my dear..."
