When you wake up in the morning brew your coffee
Have a muffin, or banana or some toast
Make sure all the house around you is in order
Take a shower, brush your teeth and out the door
Wait a minute, somethings missing in that sequence
Something all of us should do to start our day
There is nothing more important than this one small thing
Take some time down on your knees to pray
Pray for children, pray for neighbors, pray for grandma
Pray for friends that live both near and far away
Pray for pastor and for mayor and for workers
Pray for everything you'll do throughout the day
You see the secret to success is not your bankroll
Not your wisdom, or your power or your fame
It’s not a matter of the place you have climbed to
Your success comes from the times you called His name
The name of Jesus is the key to all your future
The name of Jesus is your peace in every storm
The name of Jesus is a joy you can hold onto
He’s a refuge and a strong and mighty tower
So, when you find that you are rushed and running ragged
And it seems you don't have time to even think
Take a break down on your knees to call on Jesus
And you'll find you have more time to follow Him
He's the way. The truth, the life and He's your answer
To the question of a day that seems too short
Just a little time with Jesus in the morning
Will make the whole day better from the start
