Tucked underneath the covers

I’m holding on to You

Before the sun has shown its face

Your face is shining through

You greet me with “Good Morning!”

And, “Go with Me in this day.”

So I stretch and wipe sleep from my eyes

Then look to You and say….

“Papa, Daddy, Father

What will this new day bring?

Lives to touch, hearts to mend

Songs unsung to sing?

A chance to share Your love

To show a soul Your grace?

To bring a gentle smile

To a once tear-stained face?

Can I dance with those who now rejoice

And cry with those who mourn?

Can You help me help the helpless

Those whose lives are torn?

May I be a hug, touch, word

That someone needs to hear?

That shows them of Your wondrous love

To let them know You’re near.

Still in my striped pajamas

My bare feet hit the ground

Ready to walk with You, Jesus

Possibilities abound!

Papa, Daddy, Father

Please take my hand, I pray

And use this simple vessel

In someone’s life today….
