Lord, in the morning I start each day,
by taking a moment to bow and pray.
Beginning with thanks,
I then give praise for all your kind and loving ways.
Today if sunshine turns to rain,
if a dark cloud brings some pain,
I won’t doubt or hide in fear.
For you, my God, are always near.
I will travel where you lead;
I will help my friends in need.
Where you send me, I will go;
with your help, I’ll learn and grow.
Hold my family in your hands,
as we follow your commands.
And I will keep you close in sight
when I crawl in bed tonight. Amen.
