Morning Praise

O Lord, in the morning I will praise your name.
Your grace and mercy are my constant companions.
Your Spirit goes before me and prepares my day.
I will bless your name.

My heart will sing your praise throughout the day.
Whether good or ill befall me, my song will rise to you.
May my words and actions declare your glory
to all who hear and see me.

When day ends I will rest in your peace.
For you and only you bring satisfaction.
You alone restore my body, mind and soul.
Even as my eyes close in sleep my heart rejoices in you.

Following You

O Lord, Keep me on the path of your choosing.
I am easily distracted by others.
New challenges constantly call my name.
Circumstances demand attention.
Help me keep my eyes on you.

Let my feet follow you,
regardless of the surroundings,
regardless of the voices screaming,
regardless of the enticing songs.
Your path is true, it is secure, it does not wonder.

O Lord, your Spirit is my guide,
My Comforter, my Friend, my Protector.
I choose your path,
Even when I cannot see around the bend
Or over the rise.
Even when it looks like a dead-end.

I will trust you, I will rejoice in you.
You cannot lead me astray.
I will praise your name.

I Will Praise

I Will Praise You
I will praise you Lord for you are good.
Even in the midst of trouble you are righteous.
The enemy of my soul, the enemy of my life is no match for you.

You hold me in your hand.
Your peace is my pillow.
Your joy my blanket in the cold of night.

Your greatness cannot be contained in the universe.
Your words are living sounds
Each word you speak brings life or death.

Engulf me in your presence.
Let your Spirit come and transform me.
My each fiber of my being be secured in your love.

I will praise you and only you.
Troubles are no match for your grace and mercy.
I will praise your and only you.
