In the morning dark,
In stillness, in solitude,
I wait for you, O God.
Your breath touches my Cheek
Time stands still as I sit
Resting in your presence.
My heart speaks of fear, of loss,
My soul cries because
All has gone wrong.
Your presence comforts me,
You take my pain,
My sorrow, and my tears.
As dawn’s light returns
My heart leaps, my soul breaths anew
I am not alone for you stand with me.
