Every day is new upon each dawn,
feel like leaping like a young fawn.
Admiring the creation my eyes contain,
as I can take a breath in happy refrain.
Being able to enter His courts with Praise,
in good health to dance with hands I raise.
Realizing the strength as I work and tarry,
for the man that He allowed me to marry.
Honored for the children He gave me to bore,
to one day see them serve Him even more.
I continually bless His Holy name,
for the two grandsons I can claim.
Feeling almost poor yet thankful that I am rich,
my situation can change with His power switch.
Entering His gates with humble thanksgiving,
this grateful heart has another day of living.
Opening the gifts that He's given me,
prayers answered in timely victory.
Provision of all things that I need,
my hand held as He takes the lead.
Speaking to myself in spiritual song,
psalms, hymns sung all the day long.
Making melody in my heart as of today,
singing to the Lord who gave this day.
I am thankful for everything in my life,
for every trial that ever brought strife.
Blessed be His name who could take away,
yet gave grace to me so I won't ever stray.
