Dear Lord --
I´m proud to say, so far today
I´ve got along all right;
I have not gossiped, whined or bragged,
Or had a single fight.
I haven´t lost my temper once,
Or criticized my mate,
I have not lied, I have not cried,
Or loudly cursed my fate.
So far today I´ve not one time
Been grumpy or morose,
I´ve not been spiteful, cold or vain,
Self-centred or verbose.
But, Lord, I´m going to need Your help
Throughout the hours ahead,
So give me strength, Dear Lord, for now
I´m getting out of bed
