Thank you Lord for another day

Another chance to live and love

For time and place and daily grace

Which comes from You above.

A new chance to see and feel and care

To be what I can be

To look out for my brother everywhere

Your love will set me free

Thank you Lord for another 24 hours

For more time to live and pray

Help me make the most of Your time

As You send it by my way.

For time to stop and look and see

To listen and really hear

For time to take it all in once more

And decide what I’ll hold dear.

Thank you Lord for giving me life

Each day and night is Yours

A gift given from You to me today

What more do You have in store?

Keep me safe today from things not Your’s

From places and feelings and times

Please show me how to liveYour will

I the branch, and You the Vine.
