Morning Prayer

       G                    D
In the morning I lift up my prayer to You, Lord
        Bm                        D
For the strength that I need this day
     G                      D
I am weak, I am poor, and I know on my own
        Bm               D
I'll do nothing but fall away
      G                       D
But I come to you not through what I've achieved
      Bm                      D
But because I have so great a need
      C        D          C          D      G
So be my daily bread.  Be all that I need today.


       G                 D
When I trusted in my own strength, Lord,
      Bm                D
I was scared to call on You
 G                 D
Afraid that if I acknowledged my failings
    Bm                D
I'd prove the Accuser true
    G                    D
But now I know I'm never holier than
       Bm                 D
When I come as a sinner repenting
     C            D                C          D         G
So I fall at Your throne.  Receive me as Your own once again.


    G                  D
And all of yesterday's sin cannot keep me
     Bm                D
From being made holy today
    G                         D
And all of the ways that I've pushed You aside
   Bm                   D
Cannot keep Your grace away
    G                             D
And all of the thoughts that came running and racing
        Bm                    D
Through my restless mind last night
       C         D          C          D  tree      G
Are no reason to think that You do not love me this morning.
