Good Morning, Lord, Here I am.
I'm not even out of bed.
My mind already busy,
today's demands fill my head.
Quiet this noise so I can turn
and give you this day before it's lost.
I need todays supply of grace
for You to be all that I am not.
Be the calm in my hurry.
causing me to slow down.
I don't want to miss the wonder
of your beauty all around.
Be patience in my tired
causing me to breathe.
Stopping my words before
I let stress speak for me.
Be the love in my hurt
causing me to care.
Soften my heart for the wounded
life's abandoned everywhere.
Be my joy unspeakable
the peace I can't explain.
Be my smile and laughter
the healer of all my pain.
I love you, Lord Jesus
I give you the mess that is me.
Grow in me a little more
so you are all that anyone sees.
