Verse 1
Early in the morning, how I love to be near You;
Night passed at last, now I see Your face.
Daily will I seek You, for I love to speak with You;
Your sweet voice drives shadows from this place.
Bridge 1
Oh, my Lord, I want to thank You for this lovely day.
Now, my Lord, I want to love You, love You all the way.
Chorus 1
Hallelujah, I've been -set free.
Light is all around me, darkness can't surround me
I've got Your strong arms holding on to me.
Early every morning when the day is brand new,
First thing in the morning I love to love You.
Verse 2
Hold me at the sunrise, looking deep into my eyes.
You make daybreak such a time of joy!
Daily growing younger, for Your Spirit I hunger,
Morning dawning brings new life to me.
Bridge 2
Oh, my Lord, I want to thank You for this lovely day.
Now, my Lord, I want to love You, love You all the way.
Chorus 2
Hallelujah, I've been -set free.
Light is all around me, darkness can't surround me
I've got Your strong arms holding on to me.
Early every morning when the day is brand new,
First thing in the morning want to love You.
Mmm, I need to love You.
Oh, yes, I love to love You.
