Be Like the King
Morning is lifting; young skies are yawning; Brown earth is warming; it's touching the sun. Tender is new life of blue bells and aspen. God touches softly the children of spring.
Mountains are laughing; clear brooks are splashing; The earth is just breathing; it's longing to grow. Listen so carefully; God will then teach thee A song for all His children to sing:
Be young like a new dawn; Be clear like a bird song; Be deep like a canyon as it reaches below.
Be pure like a stream clear; Be proud like a stag deer; Yet bend like a willow with its roots in the ground.
Be fresh like a rainbow; Be still like the moon glow; Be high like the eagle as she hangs on the air.
Be strong like the Rockies; Be soft like a south breeze; Be quick like the cougar as he bounds o'er the ground.
Be brave like the grizzly; Be tame like the fruit tree; Be true like the sunlight as it floats in the sky.
God made his cathedral To lift all His people; He wants all His singers to be like the King, To be like the King.
