Whatever the weather today, Lord
– and I hear it’s going to be cloudy…
Whatever the news that’s breaking
– and I know it might not be good…
Whatever my fears and worries
– the ones I can’t let go…
Whatever, whatever, whatever, Lord
– whatever this day might bring:
open my eyes, my ears and my heart
to see, to hear, and to feel today
a glimpse of your face,
a whisper of hope,
the touch of your hand
gentle on my soul,
drying my tears,
lifting my spirits,
and guiding my steps…
Whatever, whatever, whatever, Lord
– whatever this day might bring –
open my eyes, my ears and my soul
lest I miss the gift
of your presence and peace
in my thoughts, in my hope, in my heart
– today!
Amen.
