Listen to my
voice in the morning,Lord.
Each morning
I bring my requests to you,
and wait expectantly.
Psalm 5:3
SUNRISE
Song
birds greet the new sunrise,
Each
day at dawn when I arise,
And
God's creation sings to me,
To
start my day, delightfully.
As
birds unite in each dawn chorus,
I
do believe their songs are for us;
To
lighten loads hearts cannot bear,
And
bring us joy when none is there.
Bright
shines the sun on my new morn,
Sweet
sing the birds at crack of dawn;
To
make my thankful heart sing too,
With
praise to God for love so true.
When
dawn breaks up another night,
And
sunshine splits the dark with light,
My
God I pray, with renewed heart,
Thank
you for a brand new start.
Each
morning when my day is new,
Dear
Lord I place my trust in you;
Then
all the worries on my mind,
Soon
disappear ~ and peace I find.

Let the morning
bring me
word of your
unfailing love,
for I have put
my trust in you.
Show me the way
I should go,
for to you I
lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8
MORNING
At
break of dawn when I arise,
As
morn is lit with each sunrise,
Your
blessings come alive to me,
Creating
joy in all I see.
As
I awake and greet the day,
I
know beside me you will stay,
For
when I turn and talk with you,
My
spirit you will swift renew.
For
each hope salvation brings,
Plays
a tune on my heart strings;
All
things beautiful and bright,
Creating
blessings that delight.
I pray
of every deep concern,
You
show me all that I must learn,
I
long for you to comfort me,
Your
love alone can set me free.
So
every morning on my bed,
I
thank you for my daily bread,
Then
your words, the bread of life,
Bring
release from pain and strife.

Those who live
at the ends of the earth
stand in awe
of your wonders.
From where the
sun rises to where it sets,
you inspire shouts
of joy.
Psalm 65:8
SUNSET
Flaming
red and misty violet,
Boldly
colour tints the sunset,
And
paints the twilight haze.
In
wondrous thought I gaze,
At
the beauty God displays,
Just
before the night begins.
Swiftly
now the pale light dims,
And
the velvet darkness wins;
At
our time for deep reflection,
The
soul's true introspection,
Reveals
our God's perfection,
As
we contemplate our sins.

The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not be in want........
Surely
goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23 (in
part)
MY
23rd PSALM
The
Lord God is my Father in Heaven above,
Who
bountifully fills up my life with His love.
He
surrounds me with beauty and tranquility,
Where
His River of Life flows by peacefully.
He
comforts me with His presence each day,
As
I stay beside Him, and choose not to stray.
I will
not fear the shadows of death all around,
When
God’s protection can always be found.
His
rod and staff guide me onto Holy ground,
Where
I’m soothed by peace deeply profound.
He
delights to prepare a banquet feast for me,
Where
anointing oil of joy flows abundantly.
His
glorious light puts my enemies to flight,
To
be banished eternally into endless night.
His
love will bless me today and forevermore,
In
my special mansion beyond Heaven’s door.
