Waking up in the morning.

Last weekend while I was at mass, they played a very familiar song:



Open my eyes, Lord
Help me to see Your face
Open my eyes, Lord
Help me to see

Open my ears, Lord
Help me to hear Your voice
Open my ears, Lord
Help me to hear

Open my heart, Lord
Help me to love like You
Open my heart, Lord
Help me to love

And the first, shall be last,
and our eyes are opened,
and we'll hear like never before.
And we'll speak in new ways,
and we'll see God's face
in places we've never known.

I live within you
Deep in your heart, oh, love
I live within you
Rest now in me

A little long, but you get the point. So I was sitting in mass right when they were announcing this song and I turned to Mom (Dion) and said "This song's about waking up in the morning."

Oh we shared the Lulz. But now that I think about it, it is both funny and true. It's a great way to start the morning--asking God to open ourselves to the day, to know his will and live life prayerfully in thanksgiving and praise.
