Awake
from Psalms 57 & 108
I wait for You, Lord, more than watchmen wait for sunrise / I look for You, Lord, for the light that shines from Your eyes / I long for You, Lord/ all creation groans with longing / awaiting Your glory and the new day that is dawning / my heart, my heart is ready / my heart, my heart is ready // I’ll awaken the morning / I’ll awaken the dawn / I’ll offer my praises / I’ll sing a new song / for Your mercy is endless / in You is all my hope / each morning You make new / awake, my soul // You’re the light in my darkness / when night comes, Lord, I know / each morning You make new / awake, my soul
