I walk through this day because of You, Lord.
No personal power of my own gets me out of bed and onto my knees.
You are the One who gives me the desire to look up,
to open my eyes,
to push myself up off of the floor.
By Your strength, I walk.
By Your grace, I keep going.
When I stumble, You catch me in Your arms;
And when I fall, You carry me.
When I laugh, in the midst of my day,
It is a gift;
For You have shown me the ludicrous
In my situation.
Because of You, when tears come to my eyes,
I know that it is You Who have placed that seed
Of compassion in my heart for others.
You are my light,
my strength, and my shield.
Without you, I have no life;
No peace; and no joy.
Because of You and Your grace, and Your love for me,
I take joy in every lovely thing I see.
You hold my breath in Your hand, and You own all my ways.
Because of You, I feel no self pity,
And I am thankful beyond words, just to be alive!
