I come before You Lord with joy in my heart
I can rejoice in this day before I start
Trusting You will give me strength to do my part
In the divine appointments You wish to impart.
My faith grows stronger each and every day
Knowing that Your Word is leading the way
Teaching me and training me on Your path I will stay
Knowing that You are hearing my cries when I pray.
I stand in awe of Your love for me
I pray that You continue to give me eyes to see
Your grace and Your mercy gives me the chance to be free
Your love walks me through to be the person You want me to be.I humbly come into Your presence oh Lord
My heart is full of gratitude for teaching me to adore
Your will and Your way as You choose the door
That takes me on the path that in You I will soar.
I surrender my all in all
To Your voice Father-- I answer the call
The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we realize that we can only come to God from where we are.

Philippians 3:10 AMP
A treasure of my Father's own design
Lay shattered on the floor at His feet
It seemed it would be impossible
To mend this broken pieceThe original handiwork was rare
It was priceless to be exact
Yet there it lay in pieces
On the floor at my Father's feetI saw the tears in my Father's eyes
as He gazed on His treasure so rare
He knelt down and began to rearrange
Each piece with the utmost careAs each teardrop fell on a broken piece
Rough edges were washed away as
Lovingly, He labored through the night
His priceless, broken treasure to restoreI saw that at last every piece
Had found its proper place
As guided by my Fathers hands
And His amazing graceThen He smiled
I heard Him laugh out loud
At the vessel He held in His hands
"You're so much more than a treasure,
You see, you're a Masterpiece, My Child!"As I felt His arms wrap about me
Securing me close to Himself
I understood that my broken mess
Had been healed by His own bloodAs I lifted my face, I smiled at Him
And saw that He was smiling back at me,
I knew right then what I was worth,
for My Father's Masterpiece is
ME!
