EARLY IN THE MORNING
I lift my eyes to You,
Early in the morning.
Early in the morning,
My song will rise to You,
Early in the morning.
When I awake, I’m still with You,
Thank You, thank You.
From the rising of the sun,
You are near, faithful friend of mine.
Like the dawning of the day,
New hope will rise,
You are near, faithful friend of mine.
