Sister Jeannette's Hymn of the Week

I will make this day my prayer

“Not easy to say why I’ve chosen it. I feel it more than I can put it to words!

‘I will make this day my prayer’ is such a gentle song, with a beautiful melody – but it has a powerful message for me. I am listening to it now as I write this and I feel so moved by it and reminded that all that I have and do- it’s because of the generosity of God. I need to remind myself of this often, especially in these very challenging times when life is asking me to re think the way I ‘do’ and ‘am’. The words give me strength and hope and a deep feeling of God’s care for me. I hope you feel the same comfort from the song that I feel and may God bless you as you listen!

Ps. If you get the chance to look up David Kauffman on line, YouTube etc his music is very powerful and thought provoking.”

Here are the lyrics:

I will make this day my prayer

I will give you everything that I am and do today

I will give you all my cares, all my joys and sufferings

I will make this day my prayer

And when I work may my work usher in your reign

And as I go may I go with you

And when I speak may my lips sing your praise again

May my words be light and truth

And when I see my friends may they see you in me

And may I see your face in them

And may our conversation lead us to the freedom

That your presence beckons in

And when I ask forgiveness may my heart be true

And may I offer forgiveness too

And when we reconcile may we be one in you

May forgiveness make our hearts new.
