When I wake up

Before the sun begins to rise
Before the world can claim my eyes
There’s a whisper on my heart
A brand new mercy, brand new start
I reach across the quiet room
Where yesterday’s worries used to bloom
But peace is all I feel instead
Your promises running through my head


I don’t have to wonder where You are
You’ve been faithful from the start


When I wake, I call Your name
Jesus, You’ve been so good to me
For every door and every flame
For grace that set this captive free
You carried me through valleys low
You held me when I couldn’t stand
And now I see how far I’ve come
Because You never let go of my hand
So I thank You for today
And where You’re leading me next


There were nights I lost my way
Chasing dreams that couldn’t stay
But even then Your love was near
Breaking through my doubt and fear
You turned my failures into praise
You rewrote all my yesterdays
And every step that brought me here
Was guided by a hand so clear


Now my future’s in Your hands
Greater than my own plans


When I wake, I call Your name
Jesus, You’ve been so good to me
For every door and every flame
For grace that set this captive free
You carried me through valleys low
You held me when I couldn’t stand
And now I see how far I’ve come
Because You never let go of my hand
So I thank You for today
And where You’re leading me next


If the road ahead is unknown
I won’t walk it on my own
The same God who brought me through
Is the God who makes things new
Morning by morning, my song will rise
Faith in my heart and hope in my eyes


When I wake, I call Your name
Jesus, You’ve been so good to me
From brokenness to saving grace
You wrote my story beautifully
Where You lead me, I will go
I trust the steps You’ve ordered yet
With every breath, with all I am
My life is Yours — no turning back
So I thank You for today
And where You’re taking me next


Before the sun begins to rise
My first words are Your name
Jesus
