PRAYER FOR A GOOD DAY

Dear Lord, as I arise
And bend my knee to pray

I ask please place your guiding hand
Upon this busy day

All my yesterdays are said and done
Tomorrow may never be

But I give you full reign over this day
To make the best of me

May each little word I speak
Be filtered through your love

May all my thoughts be connected
To the heavenly courts above

And use my feet to take me
To where you want me to be

Guard my eyes that they would only
See what you want me to see

Give me a heart that longs to show
Others the way back home

And with these two hands help me
Fashion glory for your throne

From the great expanse of eternity
One day is all I can borrow

So help me Lord to take care of today
And we’ll talk again tomorrow
