At the break of dawn,
I am crying out Lord,
Help this broken spirit that is within me.
There are times when I feel that
My world,
My joys,
My life is about to end,
Then Lord, I remember your son you sent.
When the troubles of this world
Seem too much to bear,
Everything in me
My fears,
My tears,
The broken years
All remind me that my help comes from you.
In everything I do and say,
Lord, I reminisce on the help you have given me each day.
You have brought me from a past
Where death knocked at my door,
Where pain rocked my heart to the core,
When loving my earthly father was a chore.
Yet through it all – it was on your shoulder I leaned.
On days when I am weak,
Father, it is your face I seek.
The temptations of this world,
Try to overpower me,
The words from man,
I cannot seem to understand,
For it is their charm
That makes me falter,
When I am trying to present myself to you on your alter.
The times are getting tough,
Everything in life appears to be rough.
Friends forsake me,
Only to leave me alone,
It is on my knees
That I send my pleas,
It is my heart
That await the words you will impart.
A lonely soul,
This I am
A simple request, Lord I have,
In times of trouble, and when my skies are not grey,
Lord please remain my ever present help everyday.
