WITH EACH NEW DAY I’M CLOSER

When I open my eyes each morning
to the miracle of a new day,
I thank You for granting to me the time
to make a difference in whatever way.

Lord you have the map of my journey
You know every twist and turn,
each place of rest Your Oasis
where in silence there’s so much to learn.

Each new day, another leg of my voyage
on the sea of Your Holy Love,
with a crew of Your Saints and Angels
these guides from heaven above.

My eyes are fixed on the glorious goal
that in Your goodness created for me,
each new day Lord I’m closer
to my eternal home with Thee.
