You Get Me Early

Father God, you get me early

when the sky is dark and the day's busyness has only begun to stir,

early

with my good-morning hair and sleepy eyes,

early

when I can feel my soul's dry and cracked,

needing a refreshing of faith*,

early

because your mercies are new every morning*

and I don't want to miss even one.
