When I awake to dawn’s light I long to pray for God’s insight For His grace through the day And mercy to help me along my way When I feel alone and afraid I go to God with all my thoughts Reach out to Him with sincerity And He always answers reassuringly When I lose my hope in tomorrow I whisper a prayer for His guidance He always encourages me to keep going And believe in the prayer He honors When I need a friend that will be there I open my heart to the One I love most The friend who is there through the end Answering my prayers with gentle promise When I can’t find the right path to take I welcome His word and its uplifting directions That will always reveal to me the right way To find the greatest hope, faith and love When I think of committing a sin I know is wrong I simply can’t comprehend why I’m so uncertain He takes me by the hand and leads me to His word Where I find the answers to defeat my sinful nature When I want to achieve the dreams I’ve had I long for God’s strength to overflow my heart And His help to send me truth and wisdom So that I can know my ideas are inspired by Him When I lie down at night to drift off to sleep I always know I’m being guarded by His presence And I never need to worry about being afraid Because He’s forever alive, lighting my spirit afire
