EACH MORNING WHEN I RISE
And through the darkest night
Great is Your faithfulness
New mercy every dawn
Grace to the tired and worn
Great is Your faithfulness
We bring You glory, glory great is Your faithfulness
We bring You glory, glory great is Your faithfulness
As I lift my eyes
I come to realise
You deserve our faithfulness
I offer You my praise
I’ll live for You each day
You deserve faithfulness
Through every circumstance Your love remains
So I will give You thanks and bring You praise
Marc James
