Words of God, Worthy of Our Praise
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. (Psalm 119:1)
There is much blessing for those that who walk in the way of the Lord. I know that we as Christians do our best to walk in the law of the Lord, but we are not perfect. It is only by the grace of God that we live through Him.

Every Morning
Every morning I rise to praise,
The Creator of my days.
Every morning I rise to live,
And every part of me I give.
Every morning I rise to love,
The Maker of the Heavens above.
Every morning I rise to pray,
And thank Him for everyday.
Every morning I rise to say,
That without Him there is no today.
Every morning I rise to labor,
And ask Him for His favor.
