Each Day A Praise

I feared the task might be too much,

Drive me to my knees;

Before I even took it up

I paused to ask you please…

Please help me to take up this task

With calm aplomb and grace

And help me to call out your name

If I should lose my place,

Please help me find, each day, the words

To make your message live

And help me find a photograph

That shapes the words you give.

Please let each praise reflect to all

The glory of your love

And let it not cast light on me

That should shine far above

But most of all please help me to

Keep Gideon in mind

For it is only by your grace

Each daily praise I find!

Judges 7: 2

2 The LORD said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against me, ‘My own strength has saved me.’
