I'm awake
Sleep still lingers 
Eyes are opening 
Dim light
From the kitchen 
Dull illumination
Filters in
I'm awake

First things first 
Time to praise Him
The Lord of all
Kings of Kings
My Savior 
Jesus Christ 
I lift His mighty name 
And thank Him
He has been so good to me

Now prayer
Prayer for healing 
Of my friends 
They need a touch
Today 
Prayer for direction 
For finances 
For protection in Turkey 
For provision 
All for friends 
A thank you Lord
From me

I feel His hand upon me
As I write these simple words
I cannot help but wonder 
Who am I
That He would take the time
To hear my little prayer
The God of all creation 
By my side

And on this quiet morning 
While everyone's asleep 
I pen these words before 
I rise from bed
I know the Lord goes with me
As my day will soon begin
So I roll back on my side
And rest my head

Early morning 
No one waking
Quiet fills the room
Time with God 
Precious time
Can't wait 
'Til it comes again
