Ever had a “wake-up, get-up” morning 
When everything felt so wonderful and right
Day had come with the shining sun 
Removing all traces of the night 
Everything seemed just extra-ordinaire 
Not a bit of doom and gloom around 
Smiles were coming from every direction
Love just seemed to abound 
All through the day everything went well 
The evening began to ease close by 
All at once news became not so good 
My body just crumbled with a sigh
But, I could see God’s great hand still 
As in every circumstance, faithful is He
Though the feelings of my own kept trying to scream
God’s wonderful peace flowed continually to me 
His voice thundered through the chaos 
As only God’s quiet still voice can resound 
“Fear not my child, It is I 
He began to turn my feelings around 
Thoughts of my Father and His great power 
Came as the evening turned again to night 
But, sleep came with the great assurance 
The joy that comes with morning will make everything right
