I Have One More Day

I have one more day to be grateful.

That I was able to opened my eyes this dawn.
And that you have never from me, your grace withdrawn.

I have one more day to bless.

With whatever you direct me to write.
How sweet if by your grace, the love of you, in someone these words could ignite.

I have one more day to proclaim.

That Jesus went willingly to the cross. And for us, his blood he shed.
Jesus is alive, he is not dead.
And this good news, we all should spread.

I have one more day to remember.

That, your love, must be shared.
That we must take hold, of what you for us, have prepared.

I have one more day to acknowledge.

That, your love for me, is real.
And that your truth, to me you reveal.
