[Intro] (Soft acoustic guitar builds into a bright, rhythmic piano melody) (Atmospheric pads, gentle percussion) [Verse 1] Give ear to my words, O Lord, my King Consider the sighs and the prayers I bring Hearken to the voice of my cry today To You, my God, I will kneel and pray [Chorus] In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice In Your mercy, I will now rejoice I lay my requests before Your throne And I wait for You, and You alone [Verse 2] For You are a God who finds no delight In the darkness of the deepest night Evil cannot dwell within Your grace But I will seek Your holy face [Bridge] (Music swells, becomes more lively and soulful) Lead me, Lord, in Your righteousness Make Your way straight through the wilderness Let all who take refuge in You be glad For You lift the spirit when heart is sad [Chorus] In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice In Your mercy, I will now rejoice I lay my requests before Your throne And I wait for You, and You alone [Verse 3] Spread Your protection over my soul Take my life and make me whole For You bless the righteous with Your hand Like a shield, Your love will ever stand [Outro] (Soulful vocal ad-libs) With favor, You surround me... Like a shield, Lord... (Music fades out with peaceful piano notes) [End]
