An Ordinary Day
Help me today, this ordinary day,
When there is nothing special going on,
To sing your praises as I clean the house
And vacuum with a smile upon my face;
To do the washing with a sense of joy,
Remembering how clean you’ve washed my heart.
Remind me of some friend who needs a call,
Or send some lonely person to my door.
I do not have to go to Bible Class,
I’ve no Committee Meeting to attend;
Today I’ve extra time to spend with you,
To read your Word, to meditate and pray.
I’ve time to listen, Lord, so you can speak.
How much I miss when I do all the talking!
A quiet day with you - they seldom come,
And I’m excited, Lord, with just the thought.
If everything I do is unto you
It will not be an ordinary day.
