[124 words] Why another day to open my eyes,To breathe at early mom a cooler air,To place my feet upon the floor, ariseFrom sleep, and wash the night from face and hairAnd soul, to face another sun’s surprise? Why, indeed, if not to lift up praiseTo God Almighty?! For zeal and faith to pursueHis will and presence, love and quiet displaysOf glory?! Another day to seek and renewDeep trust in all ofHeaven ‘s work and ways?! A precious gift from God, this day and hour,That we exchange them for the everlasting!In this exchange is purpose, life, and power,A people who obey with prayer and fasting,So at his coming we need not fear nor cower.
