I rise each day,

 

In the name of God, I rise each day,
To stand with strength, come what may.
I choose the light, I choose the good,
I smile, I laugh, as I know I should.

Happiness flows, a gentle stream,
God’s presence lives in every dream.
He dwells within, He guards my soul,
Through every trial, He makes me whole.

When darkness comes and hope feels thin,
His sacred voice still speaks within:
“I am with you, don’t be afraid,
My hand of mercy will never fade.”

Though batteries die and silence grows,
Though I feel lost, unsure where to go,
I call His name, my spirit true,
“Lord, give me strength, show me what to do.”

And in that prayer, I start anew,
For every heartbeat is proof and clue:
That God is near, through night and sun,
My guide, my shield—my only One.
