[Verse 1] Early
in
the
morning
when
the
sun
begins
to
climb
Over
the
hills
of
Karmo
Gangi,
it
is
a
holy
time
We
gather
by
the
river,
we
gather
by
the
trees
Giving
thanks
to
the
Maker,
falling
on
our
knees
The
elders
are
dancing,
the
children
are
in
song
We’
ve
been
through
the
winter,
but
the
light
has
come
along
Every
single
house,
every
heart
is
feeling
new
God
has
kept
His
promise,
faithful
and
true
[Chorus] Oh,
Karmo
Gangi,
let
the
praise
arise

[Verse 2] We
remember
the
struggles,
we
remember
the
nights
But
the
shadow
has
retreated
to
the
morning
lights
There
is
a
rhythm
in
the
soil,
a
rhythm
in
the
rain
God
washed
away
the
sorrow,
God
washed
away
the
pain
From
the
busy
marketplace
to
the
quiet
golden
field
We
see
the
harvest
growing,
we
see
the
power
revealed
No
more
lack,
no
more
fear,
we
are
standing
tall
Because
the
grace
of
the
Creator
is
covering
us
all
