Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words. Psalm 119
In the early morning hours
I seek your face oh Lord.
I awake with such a longing
In my soul, to be near you.
I get out of bed and write
There is a stirring within.
You call me to your side
I come with anticipation.
You speak ever so gently
Softly, sweetly, deeply.
You minister to my spirit
Your love fills my soul.
I listen calmly in silence
I begin to see your ways.
Openly my heart receives
A song is born within.
Your words I place Lord
Upon my morning altar.
I kneel and lift my prayers
As sweet incense rising.
You fill the empty places
The dry and parched areas.
With streams in the desert
Refreshing waters of Eden.
In the early morning hours
I seek your face oh Lord.
Your words of hope I hear
And my mind is at rest.
