Song Description

Piece about praying thankfully.

Lyrics

Daybreak, I wake
and as I rise and shine,
The first thing I take--
a moment of my time
to look out the window at Your world
in this day brand new,
And I cannot help-- my praise unfurls
'midst this wond'rous view,

--I just close my eyes--
--and I thank You for it all,
--I just close my eyes--
--and praise You for these things both great and small,
--When I close my eyes--
--I realize--
--You gifts both 'now' and 'here',
--I just close my eyes--
--and I thank You, Father dear,

Noontime, I find
five minutes in my day,
Away from works grind--
I pause to You and pray,
I think of this place You've given me,
My portion in this world,
And my gratitude consistantly
rises to be heard,

--I just bow my head--
--and I thank You once again,
--I just bow my head--
--and praise You for Your love that never ends,
--When I bow my head--
--I'm quickly led
--to Your throne that draws so near,
--I just bow my head--
--and I thank You, Father dear,

Nightfall, I crawl
back in my cozy bed,
I pause to recall
the things I've done and said,
For today I've tried so hard to be
Your light for someone's need,
I'm honored that You consider me
a sower of Your Seed,

--And I get on my knees--
--and I thank You one more time,
--I get on my knees--
--in homage of Your presence so divine,
--When I'm on my knees--
--its plain to see
--the God I love and fear,
--I get on my knees--
--and I thank You, Father dear,

(BRIDGE)
And when my life is done
--with victory won
--and back home You call me,
I'll be fully known--
all mysteries shown--
You, face to face, I'll see

--(and) I will raise my eyes--
--and I'll thank You ever more,
--I will lift my head--
--and sing praise to the Lord that I adore,
--I will take my crown--
--and cast it down--
--to the God that I revere,
--I'll stay on my knees--
--and I'll thank You, Father dear,
