When
I
awoke
this
morning,
Lord
my
first
thought
was
of
You.
For
you
have
given
me
another
day
by
Your
grace
and
love
so
true.

Now
how
I
spend
this
day,
dear
Lord,
You’ve
left
that
up
to
me.
I
can
choose
to
be
smiling
and
happy
and
be
kind
to
all
I
see.
Or
I
can
choose
to
be
down
and
sad
like
a
weeping
willow
tree.
Thinking
not
of
my
fellow
man,
but
thinking
just
of
me.
Since
another
day
I
might
not
see,
as
nothing
is
guaranteed.
I
need
to
live
each
day
I
have
sharing
how
my
soul
You
freed.
It’s
not
easy
in
this
world
today
to
keep
oneself
from
worry.
I
live
in
such
a
high-tech
world.
I’m
always
in
a
hurry.
I’m
working
at
a
stressful
job
trying
to
make
a
living.
I
often
forget
Your
promise,
Lord
that
You
would
do
the
giving.
You
promised
if
I’d
trust
in
You
that
You’d
always
provide.
No
matter
what
I
faced
each
day,
You’d
be
close
by
my
side.
I
also
need
to
remember,
Lord
the
depth
of
Your
constant
love.
You
promised
to
be
here
for
me.
I
need
only
look
above.

At
times
I
need
a
reminder,
Lord
that
I
am
only
me.
I
cannot
do
it
by
myself,
for
You,
Lord,
are
the
key.
So
on
this
day,
You’ve
given
me,
I
choose
to
live
it
well.
Others
will
know
I
love
You
for
by
my
actions
they
can
tell.
