Early In The Morning
by Geri Copper
Early in the morning when I rise with you;
A feeling of assurity, peace, and love wells up.
Rising with words of praise to my Lord and King
Knowing my Heavenly Father loved so much,
He sent you Lord Jesus, His son.
Early in the morning when I talk with you;
Sharing my cares, burdens, and dreams,
There I can pour my heart out to you.
I can cry, rejoice, sing, and worship you.
Yes, there when I rise early in the morning.
Early in the morning I start my day with you;
As I pray for my loved ones, you are there.
Placing them in your hands for their care.
I give all praise and honor to you;
Knowing my Heavenly Father loved so much.
Early in the morning is the best time, Lord.
To rise and acknowledge you.
Speaking and expressing my love and praises.
To start my day, laying all before you, my Lord.
Yes, when I rise early in the morning, is the best.
