A Thousand Times a Day

I wake up in the morning
Before the sunlight paints the sky
The twinkling stars delight my heart
The cool moon soothes my eyes

I deeply breathe the gentle breeze
That carries on its wing
The fragrance of the early morn
And other lovely things

Thank You, Lord

And all throughout the day, Lord
I see Your plans unfold
I watch from hour to hour
How in Your hands You hold

My whole entire day, Lord
It's all within Your care
But it's only by Your mercy
Of this fact I'm made aware

Thank You, Lord

Each day's filled with blessings
So grateful do I feel
From the early morn till late at night
Your hand's in all I see

For the wonders that You bless me with
Lord, what else can I say?
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day

And when the evening sun goes down
And colors leave the sky
I smell the blossoms on the wind
That whispers softly by

And as I lay me down to sleep
So grateful for the night
The quietness inspires me
And fills me with delight

Thank You, Lord

Each day's filled with blessings
So grateful do I feel
From the early morn till late at night
Your hand's in all I see

For the wonders that you bless me with
Lord, what else can I say?
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day
I feel like saying, "Thank You, Lord!"
About a thousand times a day

The Love in My Heart

There is no gift
In this whole, wide world and universe
That can begin to repay
The gift you've given to me

There is no wealth
Great enough that it could ever compare
To the rare gem
That you have kindly given me

What can I give
To a person who has everything?
Nothing I own could ever really impress you
Nothing at all in this wide world
Could ever show you how I feel

What can I do to show you
How grateful I am?

I know you've said
That the way to please you best of all
Is if someday, once again
I could feel love in my heart

For your friend Krsna
Who's the supreme friend of everyone
If I love Him
Then that will really please you most

So to this end
I plan to dedicate the rest of my life
To reawakening the love for God
That's there in my heart

And so I pray that you'll accept this
As my humble gift to you
As I have nothing else to give
Except the love in my heart

Please accept the love in my heart

Master of the Universe

I think of just how miniature I really am
And how this little planet Earth is very small
I think of how You're watching over everyone
And how You are aware and conscious of us all

To me, this world's so big
But by Your power it floats in space
I'm just a little speck here
But I want to serve Your Grace

I want to please You somehow, Lord
I call You from this place

You are the Master of the Universe
How can I serve the greatest personality?
You are the Master of the Universe
How can this little child serve You? Please tell me

O Lord, I've heard it said that You own everything
And I know in fact for certain that it's true
And being as how I really don't own anything
How could I actually give something to You?

Whatever I might give
I already belongs to You
I'm standing empty-handed
Yet I want so much to do

Something special for You
Something that would please You

You are the Master of the Universe
How can I serve the greatest personality?
You are the Master of the Universe
How can this little child serve You? Please tell me

(Repeat)
