Maybe if I could get up
Just a little earlier
I could find some peace for myself
If I carefully and quietly
Tiptoes past the bedroom doors
And snuck a coffee mug down from the shelf
And I'd request a private audience with Him
A secret meeting in the morning light still dim
And say
Here I am
Take all I have today
Take my hands
Take my mouth
Make the words that I say
Take this cluttered heart
Make it simple and sure to obey
Here I am
Take all I have today
It would not be long before I'd hear
Some footsteps coming down the hall
And someone turning on the light
Saying "Mom what are you doing here?
It isn't even daytime yet
Have you been sitting here all night?"
And I'd brace myself for the noisy day
But silently I'd once again say
Here I am
Take all I have today
Take my hands
Take my mouth
Make the words that I say
Take this cluttered heart
Make it simple and sure to obey
Here I am
Take all I have today
