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.
