Every morning, very early,
There’s a meeting that takes place;
Though only two are present,
It’s important nonetheless.
The agenda varies day to day—
Some lengthier than others.
The items sometimes but a few,
More often, much to cover.
The meeting gives me guidance
In how to plan my day,
Tend to matters of importance
And let the others lay.
The Chairman of the meeting
Is my Counsel, Shepherd, Lord,
My everlasting Father,
The One who’s most adored.
This early morning meeting
Sets the tenor of my day,
Keeps me looking to the Master,
Ever mindful of His Way.
“In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”
—Ps. 5:3 (NIV)
