I Will Wake the Dawn Lyrics

Have mercy on me, God
Have mercy on me
In you I seek refuge
In the shadow of your wings
I seek refuge
Till harm pass by
I call to God Most High
To God who provides for me

My heart is steadfast, God
My heart is steadfast
I will sing and chant praise
Awake, my soul
Awake, lyre and harp!
I will wake the dawn
I will praise you among the peoples, Lord!


May God send help from heaven to save me
Shame those who trample upon me
May God send fidelity and mercy
I must lie down in the midst of lions
Hungry for human prey

Be exalted over the heavens, God
May your glory appear above all the earth

They have set a trap for my feet
My soul is bowed down
They have dug a pit before me
May they fall into it themselves!

For your mercy towers to the heavens
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies
Exalt yourself over the heavens, God
may your glory appear above all the earth
