Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

 

Good morning God.

Thank you again

for making this new day.

Please guard my thoughts

to not offend

You in any way.

Please guard my words

before they begin

and tell me what to say.

Please guard my actions

from my sin,

and keep evil at bay.

 

 

I sing to You this open prayer

to be with me all day.

That You will see Your loving child

and help me live Your way.

 

 

Please bless the children of the earth

And let their spirits play,

so they will know all they are worth

and live for You today.

Please bless the people of Your church

and help us to obey.

Please light our path as we search

to gather all who stray.

 

 

I sing to You this open prayer

to be with me all day.

That You will see Your loving child

and help me live Your way.

 

 

I sing to You this open prayer

to be with me

all day.
