It's Morning, Jesus

Before the sun rises
Before my brain kicks in
Before the caffeine does it's work
I will bring every thought in subjection to you
I will lay every little trickle of thought
at your feet.

Before I get angry at the news cast
Before I get upset with the weather report
Before I worry about global warming
Before I listen to the body count in Iraq
Before I hear the insults of the politicians
Before my ears are pounded by a thousand commercials
I will bring my mind to rest at your feet

Will you take my brain, today, Jesus?
Will you take all that grey matter where thoughts are formed
and reactions are produced and help me think your thoughts?


Here is my brain
Here are my eyes
Here are my ears
I begin today
By looking at you.

Amen
