In the morning when I rise,
help me seek Your face with these tired eyes.
In the morning when I rise,
make clear the dreams that You brought to mind.
In the morning when I rise,
give me new mercies and make my heart on high.
In the morning when I rise,
teach me to trust You, for Your Word says You never lie.
In the morning when I rise,
calm the unrest from yesterday’s raging tides.
In the morning when I rise,
shine Your light on me even if there’s no sun outside.
Yes, shine Your light even if there’s no sun outside.
In the morning when I rise,
incline Your ear to me and hear my tearful cries.
In the morning when I rise,
forgive me for holding back my heart, for trying to come to You in disguise.
In the morning when I rise,
be my strength so I can crush the enemy and his lies.
In the morning when I rise,
please tell me that everything’s going to be all right.
In the morning when I rise,
when I first look up to the sky,
give me Jesus,
give me Jesus.
