The First Thing to Say
Friends, the first thing to say when
you wake up is 'Thank You Lord!'
For He kept you safe through the dark of night
and always welcomed you aboard.

There is always room for all who call
on Jesus' name to be saved.
The transformation starts the moment
you invite Jesus into your heart - you're remade.

Being remade, born again, saved - all mean
the same - a life with Jesus in eternity.
It's hard to comprehend sometimes
but those who are reborn will enter God's city.

May God bless you and keep you, and
may His face shine on you forever and ever.
Our Great I Am  will leave none of us behind
absolutely never.

So when you open your eyes come morning
thank the Lord right away.
And if you do, I know in my heart
you'll have a much better day.
