Composer's Performance Notes:
"This is a straight forward arrangement for SATB choir. A quiet and sincere anthem that expresses our love and need for the Lord."
Composition Lyrics:
"In the morning, open my eyes that I may start the day with you on my mind.
And throughout the day, be near to show the way.
Jesus, Jesus. Love me, stay with me.
Help me, it's plain to see I need you Jesus.
Be with me.""In the evening, close my eyes that I may dream about you through the night.
And if I should die, be near, be at my side."
