Story behind the song
Song of the Morning by Richard Shekari is a tender worship piece that awakens the soul to gratitude at the break of dawn. With poetic sincerity and heartfelt devotion, Shekari reflects on the quiet moments when creation joins in praise and the heart responds in worship to the One who redeems and renews. The song begins with a morning reflection, where the singer’s heart rises with the birds to honour God’s faithfulness. The verses flow into a humble confession and a yearning for divine purity, while the chorus becomes a heartfelt prayer: “O Most High, purify me with Your holy fire. Blending themes of redemption, surrender, and intimacy, Song of the Morning is both a personal testimony and a universal prayer a call to begin each day with renewed devotion and a heart guarded by divine love
Lyrics
Song of the Morning Verse 1: Early in the morning, when the birds begin their song, My heart will sing along for all the things You’ve done. You saved me from my pride and gave me brand-new life; Oh Lord, You’ve redeemed my soul I’m safe by Your side. Pre-Chorus: I fall short of Your glory, yet I come to You, Most Holy. You know all my story You’re the One who saved me wholly. Chorus: O Most High, purify me with Your holy fire, O Most High, take my heart be glorified. You’re my life my soul’s one desire, You’re my life let Your love guard my heart. Verse 2: You are holy let Your Spirit cleanse my thirst for all the world. Jesus, hold me close; don’t let them take the best of me. Father, shield me let Your Spirit still my hunger for the world. Jesus, hold me near; let me dwell within Your grace. *Pre-Chorus + Chorus* Copyright 2025 Richard Shekari. Written, Produced and Performed by Richard Shekari.
