During a missions trip with my youth group, I stumbled on this song while looking through the hymnal that belonged to the church we stayed at. Something about it's honesty kept me in it the entire week, and when I had some downtime, I went into the sanctuary and tried my hand at an arrangement even though I'd never heard the original. This is what happened, and man, is it the spirit's song. I never punch out a take like this on my iPhone.

When Morning Lights the Eastern Skies

When morning lights the eastern skies,
O Lord, Thy mercy show;
On Thee alone my hope relies,
Let me Thy kindness know.

Teach me the way that I should go;
I lift my soul to Thee;
For refuge from my cruel foe
To Thee, O Lord, I flee.

Thou art my God, to Thee I pray;
Teach me Thy will to heed;
And in the right and perfect way
May Thy good Spirit lead.

For Thy name’s sake, O gracious Lord,
Revive my soul and bless,
And in Thy faithfulness 
Redeem me from distress.
