Morning Praise
The sun is waking up again
To make the morning bright
The Lord has kept His promises
And watched me through the night
Another day is opening
To love and serve the Lord
To live for Him with every breath
He purchased and restored
Lord, help me greet the breaking dawn
With courage, hope, and praise
For You will guide the day to come
As all my former days

I Trust You, Lord
I trust You, Lord, with all my heart
For You are good and true;
Your thoughts are kind, Your will endures,
And I can count on You.
I trust You, Lord, with all I am –
There’s nothing I must hide;
You know me well and love me still,
And You are on my side.
I trust you, Lord, with all I have –
I give it all to You;
Please show me how You want it used
And tell me what to do.
I trust You, Lord, with all I want
For You are good and kind;
I place my future in Your hands
And seek to know Your mind.
I trust you, Lord, with all my life –
My strength and love are Yours;
Increase my faith, direct my steps,
And open blessing’s doors.

Lord, Draw Me Close to You
Lord, draw me close to you
To know You more, I pray,
That I might see You as You are
And walk with You today.
Please show me what You love
So I can love it, too,
And help me turn from things You hate
So I can be like You.
Reveal Your thoughts to me
As written in Your Word
That I might learn to think like You
And gain Your great reward.
Transform my heart to want
The things that You desire,
And fill me with Your Spirit’s light –
A never-fading fire.
Fix heaven in my sights
So all I do and say
May lay up treasure safe above
Where nothing fades away.
Lord, draw me close to You
So this will be my aim
That Jesus may be magnified
And I will praise Your Name.

For Every Blessing
For every tender kindness
And blessing from above
For every gift of goodness
That shows Your perfect love
For every timely answer
That shows You hear my prayer
For every special blessing
That helps me see You’re there
For every wise direction
That keeps me far from sin
For guiding by Your Spirit
Who rules my heart within
For giving me the Bible
To teach what’s true and right
For every word of promise
That gives me strength and light
For sending Christ my Savior
To face the cross for me
For giving me salvation
Eternal, full, and free
For loved ones and for friendships
For church and all we share
For teaching me the gospel
To scatter everywhere
For beauty in creation
That shows Your strength and skill
For keeping and sustaining
According to Your will
For telling me of heaven
And endless life above
For all that You’re preparing
To show Your perfect love
For all of these, dear Father,
And so much more I raise
A heart of love and worship
That brings this thankful praise

Your Word Upon My Heart
Engrave Your Word upon my heart
And burn it deep within
So it will impact every part
And keep my thoughts from sin.
Reveal its living truth to me,
Illumine every word;
Your Spirit’s teaching is the key
To know what I have heard.
Direct my steps and guard my way
With Scripture as my light
That I might live it day to day
And bring You true delight.
Unveil the love of Christ my Lord
In every verse and line,
And help me see the bright reward
That makes life’s pathway shine.
Repeat its thoughts until my own
Are one with Yours, I pray,
That I might know You as You are
And walk with You each day.
Christina Joy Hommes
Correct, Counsel, Comfort
Dear Holy Spirit, use Your Word
To guide and guard my way
So I remember what I’ve heard
And live it day by day.
Correct my thoughts and plans, I pray,
To seek what’s good and true;
Reveal my sin so when I stray
I might return to You.
Please counsel me to know the way
That I should choose, O Lord,
That I might please You every day
And gain faith’s true reward.
Bring comfort sweet and dry my tears,
Lord, help me trust Your love,
That I might see past pain and fears
To heaven’s home above.
