In the early morning hours

Before the break of dawn

I spend this time of peace and quiet

Just God and me alone.

The beauty of His creation

The stars and moon still bright

Only He, My Lord and Savior

Could have painted such a sight.

I take this time to pray to Him

And praise His glorious name

And if by chance I miss this time

My day's just not the same.

And as I live my daily life

He's always in my heart

He gives me strength to carry on

If my own world falls apart.

He helps me when I'm down and weak

And despair is all I see

He reaches out and draws me back

His arms encircle me.

The joy and peace that He can give

Is just within your grasp

Invite Him into your heart today

You simply have to ask.

So if your life seems empty

And your days aren't clear and bright

Make some time to spend with Him

For God is dawns first light.
