Waking mercy of the sunrise
Won’t you show me where your strength lies
Furnish hope and give me courage
To endure this earthly body
For the limits of the flesh
Weaken resolve, crippling the soul
And the numbness of a frigid night
Is stealing joy away from sight…
You wonder why it all went wrong
What turned the tune of your fair song
What was the sin in your past life
To send these shadows haunting you
But steady now, the light has come
A silent angel has returned
To share her glowing, gracious breath
And turn your thoughts away from death
For now
