On Waking
Music by John F. Wilson
Words by Mary Reed
Thanks, God, for wonderful yesterday, and for this one that’s on the way.
Remind me, please, to pause and pray right in the middle of my play.
I won’t be pushed by my selfish will; I’ll try very hard to stop, be still,
To listen to what You’d have me do, to feel and think, and see what’s true.
Now this is what I’d like to say, as I hop out to start the day:
I love you, God, I’m glad to see the good You have all set for me.
