I rise to greet You
I rub the sleep from my eyes
dew still soaks the spring flowers
the lush forest of Your presence awaits me
in the book of remembrance
I approach
arms open wide
anticipating Your embrace
Abba!
Abba!
Good Morning!

YOU
I breathe in Your Spirit . . . my troubles scatter
I know they lurk in the darkness for another chance to plague me.
I am Yours forever;
how could I forget?
I am precious in your sight.
You have taken me from darkness and judgment
and translated me into the kingdom of Your incredible light.
You
the Light
banish the darkness that threatens me
My enemies are no real threat
You are holding me.

Arise, my soul, arise;
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears:
Before the throne my Surety stands,
My name is written on His hands.
My God is reconciled;
His pardoning voice I hear:
He owns me for His child;
I can no longer fear:
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.
—Charles Wesley

My God, shall sin its power maintain
And in my soul defiant live!
“Tis not enough that Thou forgive,
The cross must rise and self be slain.
O God of love, Thy power disclose:
“Tis not enough that Christ should rise,
I, too, must seek the brightening skies,
And rise from death, as Christ arose.
