Psalm of the Day
Lord, You rise me up from sleep and slumber.
You rise me up from sin and death.
You place Your Word within my heart.
You feed me with Bread and Wine.
You restore me with Body and Blood.
You fill me with Your Spirit of Life.

I not only rise, I leap to Life in You.
You threw my sin into a lake of fire.
You cast death away from me.
Behold, I see You have come to me.
I see that You have placed Yourself closer to me than I could ever imagine.
I see and call You Immanuel and Savior.

You are my everlasting Priest.
You are my eternal Savior.
You are with me while I work in Your Kingdom.
You play by my side day after day.
You come to my door and invite me out to go with You each day.
With my heart roused to joy we live together through eternity.
