Praising the Lord

Lord, I will bless You at all times
Morning, evening and in my sleep
Let Your praise be continually on my tongue
And my mouth make boast of You everyday

Oh, magnify the Lord with me
Glory in His holy name
Let us bow before Him and worship
Let us worship Him with gladness
For He is worthy to be praised forever

Rest in the Lord and worry no more of tomorrow
Be thankful for today and enjoy what God has given
For the food we eat, the clothes we put on
the house we live in and the work we do
the family and friends to love and care.
For all the beauty around to see

Let's count our blessings and be a blessing for someone today
Each day is a God given gift, so lets rejoice and be glad in it
Praise the Lord and thank Him for each day
Praise Him with all your heart, soul and mind.

As I open my eyes today

As it dawns to another new day
I open my eyes to thank You
and  to focus my thought first on you alone
Help me to quiet my mind and to be still in Your presence
To  know You, to love You
And to thank You for all Your goodness and mercy

This is the day You've made
And let me be glad and rejoice I'm in it
Let me be the reflection of Your love
wherever I go and whatever I do on this day
Lord, let me open my heart to receive Your light
The power of Your Holy Spirit
And the  wisdom of His knowledge
to live this day to its fullness.

Let the law of kindness be on my tongue
And truth and righteousness be my armor
Let my soul continue to boast of th Lord
and glorify Him at all times.
Let my eyes take full note of every kind gesture
the beauty of God's creation and the face of Christ
on every human being I come across today

Help me to cast away all negative thoughts
And not give into any fear or doubt
Because You had been my help
let me walk with confidence in You strength
Thank You for the gift of this day
And thank You for the beauty of the world around me
And the love and care of people around me today.

I thank You for this day, my Lord

This is the day You've made , my Lord
Let me rejoice and be glad in it.
Each day is truly a gift from You
Let me embrace it with gratefulness
And walk in it with great expectation.

I may not know what this day brings
Sunshine or thunderstorm I cannot predict
But I know one thing for sure
that You're with me
And I don't need to fear

You're my sun and shield
You give me grace and glory
You protect me from harm
And You shield me from evil
You leadeth me in the path of righteousness
for Your name sake
And I pray that I don't grieve You
by any of my doing today.

I thank You this day for Your mercy
And praise You for all your goodness and faithfulness
Let me walk this day with a new song in my heart
And kindness lighting my eyes
so that others could get  a glimpse of You in me today.
