Morning Song, My Heart is Ready
Background
As a song writer, I understand that finding a good lyric is the secret to being able to craft a good melody. Thus, the Scriptures themselves have become my mainstay for words and inspiration.
Another source that was brought to my attention in my early days of songwriting was The Open Gate, Prayers in the Celtic pattern for Growing Spirituality, by David Adam, Morehouse Publishing. This short song was my first to come from this collection.
While this can be sung anytime, it is a particularly inspiring way to greet, center on, and yield yourself to God at the break of a new day.
Is your heart ready?
