My Lord What a Morning
My Lord, what a morning / My Lord what a morning / My Lord, what a morning / When the stars begin to fall
You’ll hear the trumpet sound / To wake the nations underground / Looking to my God’s right hand / When the stars begin to fall
You’ll hear the sinner moan / To wake the nations underground / Looking to my God’s right hand / When the stars begin to fall
You’ll hear the Christian shout / To wake the nations underground / Looking to my God’s right hand / When the stars begin to fall
