Story Behind The Song
I like to play around with open tunings. This is an open G tuning. My grandmother taught me a song in this tuning when I was young.
The tune had a feel of grandure. It felt like morning to me. The words area a simple expression of my gratitude to God.

Lyrics
Morning Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for a new day
Thank you, Lord, for this new day
I wake in the morning
I want to cry like a baby
For your sacrifice and
Your sweet love has saved me
Thank you, Lord, for a new day
Thank for the cool of the morning
And the heat of the day
Thank for the parents
Who sent me on my way
Thank for the trials
That teach me your will
Thank for your word
That keeps my soul still
Thank you, Lord, for a new day
Thank you, Lord, for this new day
