Morning

In the morning as we rise,

Though the sun has already come

Let us look ahead to the prize

Of a day when the race has been won.

As we wake we request of Wisdom

That She be restored to our hearts

Upon Whose return we may come

To the fork where the right path starts

The brambles we've come through

Where we stumbled and fell

In our straying from everything true

Here we do not want to dwell.

As Youve waited and watched all night

You've kept us safe from all wrong

With excitement You wait for the light

And for us to wake with a song

So give us the words You have stored

Ones you kept from being our dreams

You wanted us to know You had poured

Those rivers into our streams.

I'm thankful for Your words today

I'm thankful to wake to Your smile

Let me not be the only one to say

I'd like to just stay with You awhile.
