Misc Praise Songs – Lord At The Dawning Of Another Day (Guitar)

G                   C           G
Lord at the dawning of another day,

            C        D              G
Keep me and guide me on salvation’s way.

                   C                Am
Help me to do Your will in word and deed,

             C                 G  D    G
To hear Your voice and let You always lead.

G                        C               G
Thank You that ’round my bed Your angels bright

             C           D               G
Shielded me through the darkness of the night,

                 C                Am
Now to awake to sing this song to Thee,

               C            G    D  G
And thank Thee that no evil came to me.

G                         C                 G
Dear Lord, I praise Thee, not just for this day,

            C        D              G
But for the years upon the narrow way.

                      C               Am
There is so much that I would want to say,

              C                  G     D  G
But words are halting with this tongue of clay.

G                     C            G
You called me to Your fold so long ago,

             C      D              G
And You have led me on this road below

                          C                   Am
Through tender childhood, through my youthful years,

                  C         G   D    G
comforted me and stilled my deepest fears.

G                  C           G
When satan tempted me so cunningly,

           C    D        G
Leading me even in iniquity;

                        C                Am
Lord, You were there to lift me from despair,

             C                 G  D    G
Helping me back with grace and loving care.

G                      C                 G
From day to day, Lord, You have been my guide

                C         D          G
Through all the years, forever by my side;

                    C                Am
And in the troubled times I could depend

          C               G   D    G
Always on You, oh Jesus, dearest Friend!

G                  C                G
And when the wily beast attacked the fold,

              C        D                G
You sheltered me with grace and love untold

                     C                    Am
Kept me within Your kingdom through the strife,

          C           G  D    G
Upon the road of everlasting life.

G                   C             G
You are the Potter, Lord I am the clay;

            C        D                G
Take me and shape me to Your will each day.

                    C            Am
Even through fiery trials I must go

             C                 G   D  G
It is because, dear Lord, You love me so.

G                     C             G
And when I reach the twilight of my days,

              C      D              G
Lord, stay beside me as You have always.

                       C           Am
And when the deepest shadows loom ahead,

             C            G    D  G
Oh keep Your angel band around my bed.

G                       C                 G
And when death’s river, deep and dark and wide

          C       D              G
Rushes before me, Lord with me abide.

              C                Am
Carry me over to the peaceful shore,

             C                G D  G
To dwell with Thee at home forevermore.
