Welcome Praise

Why do the days all seem the same
When the morning sunlight comes
Why do I awaken with a dreadful fear
The same result will be it's outcome 

Should I want my life to be different
If myself I do not try to really change
How can I make things better alone
Suffering the same heartache and pain

We search for many things we hope for
But always looking the wrong way
As we each day repeat all our follies
While it seems our sins now always stay

Take a moment this day to think about
The action that might help your life renew
By falling to your knees praying soulfully
That God above will have mercy on you

Alone we cannot perfect change in our lives
That will be long lasting for endless days
Unless self dies and we confess our sins
Praying to the Lord that we might be saved

If you long to awaken with a smile on your face
Let your heart and spirit begin the day with praise
By reaching out taking hold of His embrace of life
And He will make your dreams a reality today.

August 1976
