We Have This Moment

Lord, thank You for another day

within this life of mine.

Give me the strength to live it well,

whatever I may find.

Bestow from Your abundance

whatever I may lack.

To use the hours wisely,

for I cannot have them back.

Lord, thank You for another day,

in which to make amends

for little slights or petty words,

inflicted on my friends.

For sometimes losing patience

with problems that I find.

For seeing faults in other lives,

but not the ones in mine.

Lord, thank You for another chance,

in which to try to be

a little more deserving

of the gifts You've given me.

For yesterday is over,

and tomorrow's far away,

and I remain committed

to the good I do today!
