This Day
Bless this day and bless my work I pray
Take each phone call and make it hallowed
A holy conversation touched by your Spirit’s breath
Sending truth, joy, peace
Words that return not void but accomplish your desire and purpose
Watering the earth of souls, producing seed, bringing growth and fruit
Bless this day and bless my work I pray
Take each keyboard stroke
And form words that are transforming
Construct words that build up
May the words be wise
Coming only from the very heart
Of the One who brings life from nought
Bless this day and bless my work I pray
Spirit of God create in me a creativity
Birth thoughts and ideas
Then blow on them and form them
Into gold –
Treasure that will enrich
Into light –
To dawn on darkened minds
Into fire –
To spark and roar in someone’s self
Bless this day
And bless me to be a blessing to others
Amen
