WAKE ME EARLY

Before my mind gets cluttered
With thoughts of another day
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

While others are in slumber
Dreaming all their cares away
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

And while this day is dawning
Before sorrows come my way
Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray

Tonight when I am weary
Still one thing I’ll want to say
“Please wake me early, Father
I need some time to pray”

“Whom have I in heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire besides You.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.”
Psalm 73:25, 26
