As I Rise

As I rise from my bed each day, I thank the Lord for another way To live and love and serve His name, And spread His light like a burning flame. For in the morning's gentle light, I feel His presence, pure and bright, And know that with each passing hour, I'm growing in His love and power. So let me wake with grateful heart, And from His love never depart, For in His arms I find my rest, And in His love, I am truly blessed.
