Morning Song

I love mornings. I guess you could call me a morning person. It’s because I choose to be. I have found that if I’m going to be a morning person, I must go to bed in time to allow for enough rest. This morning fell on a weekend, so I could sleep in a bit. I awoke just in time to see a gorgeous sunrise and enjoy a good cup of freshly ground coffee with the Word of God.

I came across a passage that King David had penned when he was early on the run from Saul. Saul had just sent men to his house to kill him and he was confused as to why. I feel like I relate to David, because I move from faith to fear and back to faith in a very short time frame. Check this out….

16But I will sing of your strength,

in the morning, I will sing of your love;

for you are my fortress,

my refuge in times of trouble.

17You are my strength, I sing praise to you;

you, God, are my fortress,

my God on whom I can rely. (Psalm 59:16-17 NIV)

I love singing to the Lord. It refreshes my soul. I find strength when I sing to the Lord. Some of the songs I like to sing affirm my faith and trust in the Lord. When I sing of my love and trust in God, my struggles fade into the background.

One of current favorite songs to declare before the Lord is: “Here’s My Heart” recorded by Crowder & written by Jason Ingram, Chris Tomlin & Louie Giglio. Here are the lyrics that also make a great morning prayer…

Here’s my heart Lord
Here’s my heart Lord
Here’s my heart Lord
Speak what is true

‘Cause I am found, I am Yours
I am loved, I’m made pure
I have life, I can breathe

‘Cause You are strong, You are sure
You are life, You endure
You are good, always true
You are light breaking through

You are more than enough
You are here, You are love
You are hope, You are grace
You’re all I have, You’re everything
