I arose with my Lord upon my mind <br />And it occurred to me that no <br />Better or more reliable friend <br />Could one ever find! <br /> <br />Yesterday is a faded memory <br />For each day is brand new <br />And I know today is no exception <br />My Father has new things for me to do <br /> <br />Thank you Father for another day <br />And teach me now what role <br />For you this day I shall play <br /> <br />Plant my feet in the area of need as <br />You and I take our daily stroll <br />In your garden of love <br /> <br />But first cleanse me of my sins <br />And wash me as white as the <br />Wings of a snow white dove <br /> <br />Prepare my heart and my mind too <br />For all the glorious things you <br />Will for me to do <br /> <br />Then when my work this day is done <br />Arrange my thoughts to focus <br />Even more upon your only Son <br /> <br />Let me not close my eyes in sleep <br />Until I go to you in prayer <br />And thank you Lord for <br />Being right beside me <br />For you have always been <br />Right there <br />© Copyright 2003<br /><br />Becky LaPrarie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-stroll-with-my-father/
