Morning has broken like the first morning;
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!
Sweet the rain’s new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God’s recreation of the new day!

Nice to hear this, like the whole creation singing praises to God, especially during the pandemic now we still remember God is in control and his creation is beautiful!

Cat Stevens legacy to the world!

[@petejaeger5832]

It's not a Cat Stevens song. He covered it.

[@halbrown7121]

I was at a funeral recently and this was the first song they sang. So I emailed a friend who was a longtime church goer, and asked if Blackbird was a euphemism for the grim reaper.
