As I meditate on You, dear Lord,
My thoughts make me aware
Of Your graciousness, Your goodness,
How much You really care.
For all mankind, the old and young,
And all those in between,
The rich and poor, the well, infirm
Your love can all redeem.
It matters not how deep our sin,
How far we stray from Thee,
If we’ll just come to You, confess,
“I need Your love in me.”
“I need Your sweet forgiveness.
I need Your loving care.
I need the faith to know through all,
That You will still be there.”
Oh, thank You, Lord, for giving me
Salvation, great and free.
And for the Holy Spirit,
Who now abides in me.
He gives me all I need each day
To do the things I must.
The faith, the strength, the patience;
For all, in Him I trust.
My meditation ends now,
It’s time to start my day.
I know ’twill be a good one,
If I meditate and pray.
