V1 
When I wake up in the morning
It seems there’s much to do
My heart is feeling heavy
And worry fills the room

But one thing is for certain
I can’t face the day alone            
I need time in the presence
Of the One who loves my soul

CH
When I sit with Jesus
My worries melt away
The night is not as dark
And the storm runs out of rain
When I sit with Jesus
I see He’s all I need                              
Oh what blessed peace
When I sit with Jesus

V2
When I am still before Him
And listen for His voice
I hear His words of comfort
(And) my heart starts to rejoice  

There in the sacred silence
I give thanks for all He’s done
What a sweet time of worship
With God’s be-lov-ed Son

Sitting at the feet of Jesus
Oh, what words I hear Him say
Happy place so near and precious
May it find me there each day…
