I obtained the right to be called God's child
The day I ask Him to cleanse my soul,
I'll never get tired of reading His word
I never get tired of hearing the story told.

I Think sometimes I may not be
As concerned for the lost as I should
With fasting and praying and seeking the Lord
I can make a difference if I would.

I have a prayer list posted on my door
That I lay hands on when I pray,
I name each one and their need
And pray God help each one today.

Some needs are more urgent  than others
But to God they are all the same,
Each one is important to him
God wants us to call each one by name.

Jesus went to heaven in a glorified body
You and I are going to do the same,
We'll see all of our loved ones who have gone before
And we will know them each by their name.
 

We will shine when we get to heaven
We'll be one of those twinkling stars,
No more guess work you'll be there for sure
And you'll be known just as you are.
 

Thank you Lord for this wonderful day
I said this morning as I knelt to pray,
Oh Father you are so good to me
And I thank you Lord that I can see.
