Amy Grant’s 2013 album How Mercy Looks From Here contains the song Greet the Day. This song was inspired a prayer Grant heard years ago. Today’s meditation contains the lyrics to the song, a link to the video, and the simple little prayer the song is based on.
GREET THE DAY
By Amy Grant and Cindy Morgan
Lead me to the ones I need
And to the one who’s needing me.
I won’t assume the worst is true,
And do the best that I can do.
A word of kindness, I believe,
Is heard throughout eternity…
Hey, hey
This is how I greet the day,
I greet the day…
Lead me to the ones I need
And to the one who’s needing me.
And everything that gets me through
Gladly, I receive from You.
All the mercy, all the love,
Pouring down to fill us up…
Hey, hey
This is how I greet the day,
I greet the day…
Hello sunshine
Hello rain
Glad to see you,
Either way
Lead me to the ones I need
And to the one who’s needing me
Hey, hey
This is how I greet the day,
I greet the day
Come on, greet the day
Let’s greet the day…
