Every morning when I wake
Every single breath I take
Every day and every hour
I live only through God’s power.
He holds me safely in His hands
Controlling all the many strands
Of my life upon this earth
Before and every moment since my birth.
I do not always feel His peace
But that is always my fault not His
For He has said just come and rest
But I rebel, think I know best
Yet God is very patient with me
By His grace improving me gradually
Helping me daily to live in love
Preparing me for my home above.
