morning again

It’s morning again,

Lord, help me to rise.

I could stay in this bed,

And never open my eyes.

So much effort to wake,

And face yet again,

The day and its weight,

It’s hardest to begin.

Lord give me a push,

Give me strength that I need,

To get from my bed,

Down to my knees.

I give you this day,

Lord, please have your way.

I’m more tired now, than,

Last night when I lay.

Please be with me,

Help me fix my eyes,

On the beauty that’s brought,

With every sunrise.

Fill me with your light,

Like you do with the earth.

Fill me with your song,

Like the sweet morning bird.

Let me leave yesterday,

As I get out of bed.

I know you can raise me,

‘Cause you raise the dead.

I need you to hold me,

Lord, carry me through.

Wake me with your love,

And your mercies anew.
