Take care in these dangerous times and reach out to the ones you love

Sunrise

By Elton Smith, Larry Holder and Steve Israel

CCLI Number: 7218257

I heard a memorable phrase in a science fiction program and it stuck with me. Then it turned into a song. Larry, Steve and I worked together on writing the lyrics.
I wrote the music and played the guitar. Rhesa added the piano, strings, rhodes and shaker. Steve added the drums and bass, and mixed the recording. Belén sang beautifully, as always. - Elton, May 2023

Translations

Spanish

(Verse 1)
The days are dark and dreary
The journey seems unending
To that land across the sea
Where sadness is forgotten
And time no longer lingers
Grace is ours eternally

Sunrise and the world is full of promise
Sunrise and the world is full of hope

(Chorus)
Oh Lord, my lighthouse and my harbor
Your Spirit guides me across the sea
Though storms may rage, I fear no longer
In you I rest, and I am free

(Verse 2)
Don’t let the clouds deceive you
Before you lies the future
By his grace we understand
He is our hope and healing
The light of life eternal
We’re secure within his hand

Sunrise and the world is full of promise
Sunrise and the world is full of hope

(Repeat Chorus)
Oh Lord, my lighthouse and my harbor
Your Spirit guides me across the sea
Though storms may rage, I fear no longer
In you I rest, and I am free

Sunrise and the world is full of promise
Sunrise and the world is full of hope
