A time of awakening, a chance again

I look back at the forgotten and new

At things needing re-start and growth

And remember what is right and true

A new day, a time to start again

To set things straight and make good sense

I look at this chance I’m given today

And thank You Lord for Your patience

A time of beginnings, of brand new light

Illuminating me, from shadows to day

How should I shine today, on whom?

Can it be me who lights their way?

Another chance to get it right

To fix the broken, to mend the tear

I ask for forgiveness and strength today

Returning To You, my life, with loving care

Yesterday’s tomorrow, here today

In my hands to use it right

I will return today to Your right path

And keep salvation in clear sight

Help me use it well, this gift received

Of time to use and time to give

And bring You today to others I meet

In how I love and how I live
