As I rise in the morning
I think of you with greeting.
We have a meeting place deep in my heart.
I thank you for another day
I love all your ways.
The love you have showed deep in my soul
keeps me under control.
We meet in the mornings
we talk about the day
I ask you to show me your ways.
Our meeting place is special deep in my heart
When something disrupts that it makes me upset
so I need you to take control.
I have had problems with my faith and with doubt
but you have seemed to strengthened that
which I never thought it would happen with
all the pain I have had
really seemed so bad.
When we meet at our place
you take me in your arms with such a awesome embrace.
I have never seen your face
but I long to have you right in this space
where we call our meeting place.
There are battles now I'm going through
still with my faith but you say
if I have faith as small as a mustard seed,
I can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for me. "
So this is why we meet in our place
so I can always increase my faith.
I know your with me
even when I fail
it seems my family is being attacked
and my heart goes out for them
this I don't understand
how can they not want to seek you
or share your love
I feel anger and it makes
me anxious and my heart hurts
so we meet in our place
forever you and I will work
together as my faith grows more
as I seek you this day
help me to know your hand
help me take a stand.
