Waiting On The Lord ~

Are you waiting on the Lord,
are you patiently hanging on
are you staying in there strong
or is your faith almost gone?

Are you at your wit’s end,
are you in over your ears
are you questioning yourself
is your faith about your fears?

Are you seeing a sea of red,
are you sinking in your doubt
are you being overly anxious
is your faith running out?

Are you upset with the Lord,
are you distrustful He will act
are you questioning Him
is your faith running off track?

Are you ready to give up,
are you starting to go astray
are you feeling like it’s no use
is your faith slipping away?

Well, I want you to know,
God hasn’t given up on you
so just keep looking to Him
and your strength He’ll renew!

Isaiah 40:31

“But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.”

King James Version

A New Dawn ~

Every day is a chance,
to renew your mind
every new dawn given
there’s new hope to find.

Every day is a chance,
for your Bible to explore
every new dawn given
let God heal and restore.

Every day is a chance,
to grow in His grace
every new dawn given
seek to find His face.

Every day is a chance,
to grow and to learn
every new dawn given
give God your concern.

Every day is a chance,
to get closer to the Lord
every new dawn given
to Jesus, look toward.

Every day is a chance,
to give God your strife
every new dawn given
let Jesus into your life!

A New Day ~

Restore my soul Lord,
each and every day
establish my paths
along the way.

Rebuild my life Lord,
every morning anew
determine my course
so as I may follow you.

Repair my heart Lord,
at dawns early light
prove its intent is true
pleasing in Your sight.

Renew my mind Lord,
upon the rise of the sun
strengthen my awareness
so Your will may be done.

Refresh my spirit Lord,
as the stars slowly fade
as this is a new day
for me ~ You have made!

Psalm 143:8

No Matter the Hour ~

Lord, the day is now over,
the night is drawing new
I need to get some rest
so my soul You can renew.

I am thankful just to know,
that You never doze or sleep
for, no matter what the hour
You still tend to Your sheep.

When I am up and stirring,
You lead me on Your way
when in bed and covered
You are planning my next day.

Lord, my mind and my soul,
are constantly at peace . . .
for, no matter what the hour
Your love will never cease!

Renew Us Lord ~

Lord, renew in us Your love,
each and every day . . .
may it be the first thing we ask
when we start to pray.

Remind us of Your hope,
how it will not ever pass away
build us up in confidence
so our faith will never go astray.

Fill us with Your peace,
quiet the troubles in our mind
take away the barriers
so Your tranquility we can find.

Remind us You are the God,
of yesterday and today
how You have our tomorrows
so we don’t need to be afraid.

Whisper in our ears,
how much for us You care
tell us a hundred times over
for us You’ll always be there.

Lord, renew in us Your love,
each and every day . . .
may it be the first thing we seek
so by Your side we’ll always stay!

The Dew of Dawn ~

Each new day is a blessing,
a present from God to unfold
a time to open up our hearts
so His beauty we can behold.

Upon dawns cracking hour,
God calls us to be renewed
with the morning light comes
the refreshing drops of dew.

He gives the blessing of unity,
upon the rising of the sun
sends the gift of His Spirit
along with the love of His Son.

Each new day God gives us,
let’s renew for Him our love
and spread everlasting joy
like His dew drops from above!

Psalm 133:3
King James Version

“As the dew of Hermon,
and as the dew that descended
upon the mountains of Zion:
for there the LORD commanded
the blessing, even life for evermore.”
