    This is my very latest one! Critique heartlessly and enjoy!

    Awaken the Dawn
    Up the pale granite heights I climb.
    Up to the summit scale and then stand to see hues sublime
    As the skies fade from black to blue.
    Watching as they deck themselves, I know morn will soon ensue.
    To the hills I’ll always be drawn
    To awaken the dawn.

    Like a knight clothed in almandite ( a deep red garnet )
    Unto the heights arises the sun, so blinding in light.
    He arrays graying clouds in cloaks
    Stained in the shades autumn and the roses’ gown invokes.
    Above hills Masterstrokes are drawn
    With awakening dawn.

    Now in brilliant light he shines.
    All of the heaven dances joyous, clothed in carmines.
    Now my heart arises and thrills
    As to the strings my fingers spring. The music now spills
    Over the hills. A song I’ll spawn
    And awaken the dawn.

    Let the notes from my fingers flow
    Over the chaos cascade the sweetest tones I know.
    In the wind this anthem may blow
    And awaken the dawn.
    Let the melody melt the cold
    Inside of me. Let praise from within run forth tenfold.
    To be praising is my desire
    Unto the One who sets the sun and the dawn afire
    Over the hills a song I’ll spawn
    And awaken the dawn.

    On this wind my hair’s high-flown.
    Upon its gusts the music is unbroken and blown.
    May this day my lips be swift
    To with unbroken joy, though sorrow’s surrounding, lift
    Up a song. Almighty has won
    Oh, awaken the dawn!

    Now as victorious He reigns.
    All the redeemed dance rejoicing, washed free from stains.
    Now my heart arises and thrills
    As on the strings my fingers dance. The music now spills
    Over the hills. A song I’ll spawn
    And awaken the dawn.

    Let the notes from my fingers flow!
    Over the chaos cascade the sweetest tones I know!
    In the wind this anthem may blow
    And awaken the dawn.
    Let the melody melt the cold
    Inside of me. Let praise from within run forth tenfold!
    To be praising is my desire.
    Unto the One who sets the sun and the dawn afire
    Over the hills a song I’ll spawn
    And awaken the dawn.

    All the sins are forgiven now.
    Of my Redeemer’s Love not one doubt will I allow.
    Let the love from my soul now flow!
    Up to the Savior sing out the sweetest notes I know
    And awaken the dawn.
    May this day my lips be swift
    To with unbroken joy, though sorrow’s surrounding, lift
    Up a song. Almighty has won
    Oh, awaken the dawn!
