Father thank you for this day,
whatever it may bring;
whatever comes my way,
my heart to you will sing.
You lead me from the darkness,
into the paths of light;
keeping me from evil,
turning back the night.
Father thank you for this day,
when love is in the air;
when the heart is warmed,
by the friends that care.
Your truth is shining brightly,
in the shadow's den;
in the winding rivers,
where the forests bend.
Father thank you for this day,
in the power of a prayer;
in the laughter of a child,
your sweet presence we all share.
