Good Morning, Lord Good Morning Lord, the night has passed, And once again I gaze upon Your world and find it good. The darkness fades, as darkness will, And so, my heart is light, For you await to share my day, Who watched me through the night. I cannot see what lies ahead, But I am sure you know, So, take my hand and walk with me, Wherever I may go. No joy or pain is ever sent, Save by Thine own accord, So, in the shadow of Thy love, I say…Good morning, Lord. The Family
