If You Meet God in the Morning, He'll Go with You through the Day

"The earth is the Lord's

and the fulness thereof"

It speaks of His greatness,

it sings of His love,

And each day at dawning

I lift my heart high

And raise up my eyes

to the infinite sky....

I watch the night vanish

as a new day is born,

And I hear the birds sing

on the wings of the morn,

I see the dew glisten

in crystal-like splendor

While god, with a touch

that is gentle and tender,

Wraps up the night

and softly tucks it away

And hangs out the sun

to herald a new day...

And so I give thanks

and my heart kneels to pray

"God, keep me and guide me

and go with me today."
