Every day

Every day I need you Lord

But this day especially,

I need some extra strength

To face what ever is to be.

This day more than any day

I need to feel you near,

To fortify my courage

And to overcome my fear.

By myself, I cannot meet

The challenge of the hour,

There are times when humans help,

But we need a higher power

To assist us bear what must be borne,

and so dear Lord, I pray -

Hold on to my trembling hand

And be near me today.
