Oh Lord, I pray, Make this a really good day.
I'm leaving this day in your hands, Whatever happens is part of your divine plan.
Give me kindness, give me love, just as the dove you sent from above.
Help me to love my sisters and brothers, And to practice loving one another.
Also give me strength & patience that I need, To handle whatever trials that I may meet.
And if I stumble, and if I fail, Pick me up and set me back on the trail.
Let me not complain or grumble I give me grace and make me humble.
I'll always be on my knees to pray, giving you all the glory, Lord, for this day.
