Lord, as I wake I turn to you

Lord, as I wake I turn to you,
yourself the first thought of my day;
my King, my God, whose help is sure,
yourself the help for which I pray.

2. There is no blessing, Lord, from you
for those who make their will their way;
no praise for those who will not praise,
no peace for those who will not pray.

3. Your loving gifts of grace to me —
those favours I could never earn —
call for my thanks in praise and prayer,
call me to love you in return.

4. Lord, make my life a life of love;
keep me from sin in all I do;
Lord, make your law my only law,
your will my will, for love of you.
