WOV #777, “In the Morning When I Rise”
Devotion
Here is a hymn for all day and each day, In the Morning When I Rise. In this hymn we pray/sing “give me Jesus.” In the morning, at dark midnight, at the break of day, when I come to die and when I sing – give me Jesus.
The verse possibilities are endless. I have a few to add. When I sit to work – give me Jesus. When I drive along – give me Jesus. When I call a friend – give me Jesus. When I mow the lawn – give me Jesus. When I am afraid – give me Jesus.
You can add your own verses. As you sing/pray this hymn you can know that Jesus has arrived – for God never tires of coming to those who call.
Prayer
Most gracious God, give me Jesus. At the most unexpected times, give me Jesus. At the most unusual times, give me Jesus. When I least expect it, give me Jesus. Thanks, I needed that. Amen.
