I could feel defeated and hang my head and cry,
but instead I Praise You God and Here is why.

I praise you that I woke to a new day bright and fair,
I praise you because if I have need, you will be here.

I praise the faith that you have been so kind to give to me,
that get's me through even what appears negatively.

I praise the sunshine you send to light the way,
and find it a reminder that you control each day.

I praise the fact you give the flowers a drink by  the rain,
and see that it too washes life's dirt down the drain.

I praise life's character building lessons that come my way,
I'll be fit to do some work for you one day.

I'm thankful that you gave me eyes to behold life's blessings day by day,
may I bring to you, honor and glory during my life's stay.

Lord I am grateful for all of the wonderful things that you do,
but my very deepest gratitude is for You just being You.

I could give up and not want life to go on,
but instead Heavenly Father I Praise each new dawn.
