I have always been a night owl, and waking up early every day, ready for a day's challenges was difficult for me as I faced college life. Yet God has been my strength; His glory my motivation. On happy days, exhausting days, or painful ones...these were the words that greeted my mornings, and drove me through each day.
In the morning I arise,
Stretching arms and rubbing eyes,
Wondering what course should lie,
On my way today.
In the morning, silently,
As the sunrise creeps on me,
I can't help but question why
I need face the day.
Not for love and not for fame,
Not for praises to my name,
Not for mem'ries passing by
Must I live today.
Christ alone, my heart's desire,
Gains the flame and feeds the fire;
Lord, upon You I rely,
Use me, Lord, today.
