Give Us This Day
by David Johnson
We wake up in the morning
Turn our faces from the warmth of God
And follow that elusive coin
That leads us far away from him
Few will stop, look up, and say
“Thank you, Father, for this gift
I’ll hold it close – invest it well
And make it like no other day.”
Don’t take this gift and squander It
Give it meaning, give it life
Parse it, shape it, make it yours
Then take it on your chosen path.
