Have I worshiped God today,
at home, the garden, work or play?
Have I thanked Him for His grace,
as on my knees I lift my face?
Did I kneel in earnest prayer,
to share with Him my every care?
Did I give Him any thought,
remembering how my soul was bought?
Does He know I think of Him,
as I tend my every whim?
Did I tell Him of my love
for blessings here and up above?
No. I’ve gone about my life,
full of details, full of strife.
Living for myself and mine,
giving God so little time.
Dear Lord, forgive my foolish heart.
My day was misspent from the start.
I took no time throughout my day,
to ask you for your guiding way.
I didn’t praise your Holy Name,
not once, and it is to my shame.
I didn’t tell you of my fears,
so you could wipe away my tears.
Oh Lord, my days to you belong.
I praise your name with rhyme and song.
Thank you for the love you gave,
your selfless act, my soul to save.
Almighty God, I give you praise,
throughout this, and all my days.
