Lord, it's a busy day, full of things to accomplish
just like so many other days gone before.
I've got things to do right here in my house
before I take off out the front door.

Though my agenda for the day is 'bigger than life'
I invite You to interrupt me at will.
May I see Your activity in other people's lives
so I'll listen and pause to stand still.

May I never be too busy to minister to my neighbor
whose needs You have laid on my heart.
Remind me this day really belongs to you Lord
and was a gift from You right from the start.

Though I may have a plan...I am still Your servant
and I will move at a word from Your throne.
May your Spirit flow through me to affect other people
till Your mercy is abundantly shown.

Thank you for this day and the chance to serve others
with the purity of what's righteous and true.
So feel free to stop me and send me somewhere else
and I'll adjust my whole day around You.
