He tells me to get up
Tells me to live

He doesn't have to wake me
I couldn't tell you why he does

I thank Him for all I still have
I thank Him for what I don't

Many hate Him
But I wish they understood
That He is not the hate that lies within their neighbors

But the Hope within their own temple they have yet to listen too

For a man can say what he wants
he can lie and pretend to know all
he can know all but he is still a man

The Sheppard who
Calls within the Morning Light
Says today is a day to be alive
And to Live it well

Theres no talk about yesterday
Only that is forgiven
If I try better today

There is no night we live through that He doesn't see us through

They may try to change you
They may say He hates you

But no Liar
No hypocrite
Not one of Us... To be honest
Has any right to bring Him so low

He does not hate
Not one bit of you

For He is unchanging
The One who waits
He'll advise you just to live well
Because that allows an open door to your inner well

Fellow men can only understand so much
They will not turn the dile,

He will call you within the morning light and that will start a fire

You will not lose any Love
Stop being afraid
And whatever your own choice He will Love you Forever

But always remember when you see morning light, no matter who you are or what you do, His surely with you
