Gratitude

I wake up in the morning in the stillness of the dawn,

And thank the Lord for waking me to greet another morn.

I don't know what the day may bring as each day passes by

But I'm sure His ever present help he will not me deny.

I ask Him for his guidance in decisions that I make,

That His counsels in His word I will not ere forsake.

I tell Him of my love for him and my desire to be true,
And how much I depend on him in everything I do.

I know His promise never fails I can depend on him,

For the assurance of His love when ere my faith grows dim.

I place my future in his hands He knows for me what's best,

For in Him I'm sure to find perfect peace and rest.
