Before the break of dawn
My heart cries out to You
Where I'm surrounded by my night
Here all my weaknesses will wait upon Your mercy
The hope of dawn from black to white
I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won't You breathe some life in me
Awakening the dawn, with all my heart
I sing to You
You are the reason that I live
Under me, over
All around I know You're with me
Never condemning
You forgive
You always forgive
I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won't You breathe some life in me
No matter where I go
No matter where I stand
Your Spirit always speaks to me
And tells me whose I am
With every breath I take
And every choice I make
My heart will always sing to You
I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won't You breathe some life in me
I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won't You breathe some life in me
