In the morning 

I will rise up 

Shade the darkness bring in new light 

And I will count every blessing 

Words spoken bring me new life 


And I am reminded where You've brought me 

Where You've placed me oh today 

And I won't forget that Your hand will hold me 

Your love sustains me through the way 

And I will wait on You Lord 

I will wait on You Lord  


And all the burdens that I've carried 

They are heavy, oh too heavy to hold 

There is a river, there's a sunrise 

If there is a new day, it must bring a new life 


And I am reminded where You've brought me 

Where You've placed me oh today 

And I won't forget that Your hand will hold me 

Your love sustains me through the day 

And I will wait on You Lord 

I will wait on You Lord  


Bless the Lord oh my soul 

And all that is within me 

I will rise in his Love 

A shout of what is the way 

(*2)  


And I am reminded where You've brought me 

Where You've placed me oh today 

And I won't forget that Your hand will hold me 

Your love sustains me through the day 

And I will wait on You Lord 


And I won't forget 

All of Your mercies 

And all of Your grace 

That has been poured out on me 


You move in mysterious ways 

Faithful for all of my days 

I'm not on my own 

'Cause You are Love our God 

When You move You make no mistake 

I'm grateful You leave nothing to waste 

I'm not in control 

'Cause You are Lord our God 

(*2) 

I'm not in control 

'Cause You are Lord our God
