Lyrics
Chorus:
I will praise my God in the morning
I will sing to God all my days
For Yahweh is my strength and glory
Yahweh, truly my song.
1 Lord you know each turn within my heart
You read me from afar
All my ways lie open to Your mind, my God.
2 If I flew beyond the rising sun
Or westward to the sea
I would still be within your arms, my God.
3 It was You who planned by inmost self,
You formed me in the womb!
For this wonder of myself, I now thank You!
Beautiful song juts for peaceful morning prayer
