Let joy enhance our morning,Let Love fulfill our day;Let grace and sweet humilityBe ours along the way.

Angels are a gentle wayfor God to speak to man.

In the morning

When, in the morning, I awake,God's path of Life and Truth I'll take,With joy my daily tasks assume,And for His love make ample room.

Sing praises, O wanderer, heartsore and weary,Traversing the desert Despair;Sing praises to God though your pathway seems dreary,The burden too heavy to bear.

I stand before a mirror, my "self" I cannot see.
Anxiety on the eastside,insecurity on the westside,oppression on the northside,disorientation on the southside.
