in the morning, when i rise, give me Jesus

oh Morning,

what surprises do You hold for me today?
what challenges will You bring a long my way?


what chances will You give me to love?
what chances to rise above?


what chances to grow?
what changes to show?


what is my purpose for today?
oh, Morning, will you show me the way?

a brand new day or so it seems,
my deepest fears and dreams,

they find me,
and steal the person I want to be,

they take me away from You
they take me away from the One that is true,

Oh Morning,

my heart it longs, it wants, it needs,
for a love so sure that it bleeds,

to learn, to love, the Morning Light,
to be pleasing to Your holy sight.

Oh Morning Light,
what surprises do you have for today?
