"Good Morning Lord"
by Irma Bruce
Good morning Lord, I give you
praise
For your wonderful loving ways.
The love the keeps watch over
me.
My life’s work you always
see.
You are always by my side,
Ready and willing, my steps to
guide.
All I have to do is ask,
And you’re there to help
with any task
Lord, I know sometimes my prayers
are weak,
And the things, for which I seek
Aren’t really worthy of
your time.
Yet I know you heard each time.
Sometimes I’ve felt so
all-alone.
Troubles around me some unknown.
Then you touched my soul and
heart,
And troubles and sorrows did
all depart.
Yes Lord, I know you’re
always near
Even when I cry that lonely tear.
You gently wipe it all away,
And turn gloom into the brightest
day.
I
thank you, Lord.
"Life’s Journey"
by Irma Bruce
I’ve scaled the highest
mountains
and climbed the steepest hills,
walked in the valleys
deep and wide.
But with every joy and heartache
my Lord was by my side.
Sometimes I felt I was at
the end,
my world was full of woe,
but God was always with me
and gave meaning to my life.
So each morning as I leave
my bed
I give praise to God above.
For each and every blessing
and every promise of His Love
Take a moment in the morning
at the starting of the day.
For communion with the Spirit
as you bow your head and pray.
Every burden will be lighter,
and every joy a bit more gay.
If you take that early moment
just to worship and to pray.
It’s a closer walk with
Jesus,
he will guide you all the
day.
When you take that first sweet
moment
just you bow your head and
pray.
In the evening
when you close your eyes in
slumber,
do you think God will say,
“You have earned one
more tomorrow
by the work you did today.”
