As we daily turn the pages,
Of our lives we've come to know....
Has it become automatic?
Is there more God wants to show?

Do we eagerly awake each day,
Excited about God's plans?
Or do we just turn the page,
And keep trudging in the sand.

The next page is always waiting,
With hope and joy, abundant....
Just believe in God's possibilities,
Then life won't seem so redundant.

Each day as we awaken,
And write on that next page....
Let it be filled with wonder,
Of the essence dreams are made.

The next page that you open,
Can be so full of power....
Just believe in God, and pray,
Know his timing is not our hour.

Keep your mind wide open,
Don't let opportunity pass you by....
You'll never know your potential,
If you won't even try.

My fervent prayer for all of us,
For me and you, my friend....
Is that with the next page turned,
You'll start to live again!
