Dear Lord change not Thy will in my life,
Or trial and sorrows to be;
Renew my faith and make me strong,
Change not Thy will, change me.
Be with me, God, when I’m happy
And all of my skies are blue;
Don’t let me take life for granted
But for ever be thankful to You.
I got down on my knees,
And said a prayer for you today.
I asked for God to bless you,
And next to you he’d stay.
When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts…
God knows how hard you have tried.
It’s quiet. It’s early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The
world is still asleep. The day is coming. In a few moments the day will
arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.
Anywhere is a place of prayer, if God is there…
I have prayed in the morning light,
I have prayed all alone,
I have prayed in the silence of the darkness,
and I have prayed to the tune of a lark’s song.
