Darkness meets my eyes
As I awaken from my sleep
I thank the Lord for breath
And that my soul He keeps

I rise to greet the morn
As the light begins to show
The pink blush on the clouds
Comes before the rising glow

As I watch the changing colors
At the breaking of the day
I can’t help giving thanks
For this day that He has made

For I know that He’ll be with me
From dawn until the dusk
I’ll  never feel the need
To depend on any luck

When He is with me all that comes
Will only make me strong
For in His arms I’m settled
And to Him I belong
