I never know how many mornings God will waken me, but I know when He does, it is for a purpose. It is within His plans, and I rejoice.
God Wakens Me
God wakens me,
But not just to be.
He wakens my eyes to see His beauty,
To see a need,
To plant a righteous seed.
He wakens my ears to hear;
To listen, for He is near.
He wakens me morning by morning.
He wakens my thoughts to set the day;
To think to pray,
To prepare for, “come what may!”
To encourage a contentful day.
He wakens me in every way.
God wakens me,
But not just to be.
He wakens my tongue for speech;
Giving words for outreach
And actions that teach.
God wakens me,
But not just to be.
He sets my face
And my pace.
He wakens and helps me stand,
He holds my hand through what He has planned.
God wakens me to trust in Him
And to sing a praiseful hymn.
God wakens me morning by morning.

“The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being instructed.” Isaiah 50: 4 NIV
