When I Wake

In the morning when I wake give me Jesus
Not my thyroid pill, not a cup of coffee, and not my cell phone…just give me Jesus
Not the latest news report, not the weather forecast, not even a prayer request…just give me Jesus 
Not yesterday's regrets, not today's desires or tomorrow's longings…just give me Jesus
In the morning when I rise give me Jesus 
In the darkness of night and I'm closing my eyes...just give me Jesus
In my hour of need give me Jesus...In the midst of my joy...give me Jesus
Not a promise to behold, not a verse or a hymn...just give me Jesus
If I am to remain in this world but not of this world...in the morning when I rise give me Jesus
