Each morning as I wake up
and face a brand new day,
I pause for just a moment,
and take the time to pray.
I thank God for safe-keeping
of my family through the night,
and for the brand new morning
that’s so beautiful and bright.
I thank Him for my blessings,
and for what He has in store;
For altho’ He’s done so much for me,
I know He’ll do much more.
And the I ask for guidance,
so that I can find my way.
For without Him I would stumble,
and with temptations surely stray.
Then as the day comes to an end,
and nighttime closes in,
I pause for just a moment -
and talk to God again.
