On This Day

ON THIS DAY

On this day

that the Lord

hath made

I shall rise

aware

of the victory won

in His mighty Name.

I shall go forth

covered by the Blood

of the Lamb

knowing full well

that I am His,

and therefore

entitled to all

His inheritance.

No foul thing

has a right

to my thoughts,

my body, or

my emotions.

I will fill my mind

with the Name of God

I will count it all joy

for I know any fire

is not to frighten me

or burn me,

for God uses all things for good.

These fires are fires

of purification

to melt away the dross

so I can step forth

as gold

on this day.

I put on the full armor of God

I walk in love

I dwell in the secret place

of the Most High

I sing praises unto You Lord

for You have given me life

that I might have all things

for surely, as I walk this narrow path

all things will be added unto me

in Your glorious Name.

I love You Jesus

I dedicate this day to You

I lift my hands in praise

I raise my voice in honor

I lift my chin in glory

I step forth in peace

I extend my hand in love

I use my lips to confess

that You are Lord God Almighty

I fall to my knees in thanksgiving

I use these instruments

that You have given me

carefully and wisely

knowing how powerful they are

I thank You Lord

for this day

for this day is unique and special

unlike any other

I will concern myself only

with the things of this day

for it deserves and demands

I be present in it,

for when I am here

You are with me,

and this day

I want to spend

with You.
