The warmth in my soul
spreads into my heart,
and each new dawn
is a brand new start.

One more precious gift
from God up above,
showing me grace...
extending His love.

Allowing me to grow
into whom He desires,
renewing my spirit
on days I am tired.

One more precious moment
to sow a kind seed,
another opportunity
to fulfill a need...

Oh, Lord, thank you
for my cup runneth over,
not with silver or gold,
but the burdens You shoulder.

Let me live to inspire
others through You
May they always see love
in everything I do.

Father above,
from the depths of my soul...
this sweet surrender
brings joy untold.

Abide with me always,
deal with me daily...
bring comforting words
to future pages.

Bless each one who
who visits this site,
and help us to strive
with all of our might...

To band together
and stand tall for You,
so others will see
and accept your gift too.

Oh, Lord with me,
please always abide...
when you're through with me here
catch me up in the sky.
