Morning Glorious Lord

Morning Glorious Lord
[Lyrics by Annie Seah]

1. My heart is quickened
my feet ordered
to meet My Lord in the morning.

What is it, Lord, you see in me?
'Tis undeserving soul
your forgiveness endures.

Chorus:

The Lord keeps - as we can’t -
us upholding The Covenant
in this frenzy world.

The Lord sees - what we don’t -
us reflecting HIS glory
in our human frailty.

2. Your Spirit beckons,
'tis glorious morn;
in sweet commune, You & us, Lord.

That in our yielding,
anchoring our soul;
glorious eternal Lord with us abide.

[Repeat Chorus.]

POEM: On Learning Choice Theory

I’m on a one-way ticket to perdition
There’s nothing else to blame but my own confusion
Obliviousness is synonymous to my way of thinking
Only God knows when this nightmare will be ending

I feel this way though life has its meaning
I’ve lost all hope to carry on this struggling
By a twist of fate which happened one morning
I was obligated by friendship to attend a so-called counseling

Being skeptical to change or to finding any more hope
A team of Choice Theory angels came to teach me the ropes
At the present moment there is no beginning, no end
It’s just a transition to greater fulfillment

Choice Theory guided me without answers, but only questions
Which if practiced would train me to better handle situations
I’m not saying that my future will be absolutely bright
It will be just more worthwhile to take on this fight

I’ve always looked for a reason to take on this challenge
But then again I myself am my own greatest reason
Things and relationships come and they go
That’s why I have to be selfish and start saying no

This isn’t flattery or outright ball-carrying
It’s sincere from four days of genuine soul-searching
The reason for writing this poem and story
Is to show my gratitude, thanks and a whole lot of appreciation
