Before I Make a Sound

Good morning Father
I approach your mercy
my face upon the ground
Another day I ask for grace
before I make a sound

Forgive me Lord
for I have been
undeserving of this time
Help me to be a light
with strength and giving shine

Touch me God
as I touch the world
that follows me each day
Hold my clumsy tongue
until you give me things to say

Be with me
as I step from this slumber
and explore abundant grace
Walk with me and navigate
as I wander forward through the race

Deliver joy
to my fading heart
Glow from within my soul
Pull from me this aching heart
and fill me with your control

Amen.
