Today, I’ve had an overwhelming need for the powerful strength of God. It’s difficult to express how I feel, to find the right words, to know which way to go, to face what will become, but, God knows my heart.
He will always and forever be beside me, He will tenderly hold and comfort me, He will show me the way to go.
Wake Up Call
I arise today through
God's strength to direct me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak to me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me.
God's strength to direct me,
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak to me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me.
