For the past eight weeks, we’ve been exploring the debut solo album (What a Day) of Phil Keaggy, one of the true pioneers of Contemporary Christian Music. With his crystal-clear tenor voice and unmatched guitar artistry, Keaggy has won the admiration of fellow musicians and listeners alike — whether or not they share his faith.
How fitting that this final song arrives the week before Thanksgiving. Its melody glides into the soul like a soft breeze crossing a meadow, stirring both peace and gratitude. More than a song, it feels like a psalm.
Each morning, I will look up to the Lord
And greet the day with a song
Eternal life is what He gave to me
Now He's my source of joy
I will sing, I will play to my King
His right hand is my strength
I will stand.
I believe in a living God who loves me
I believe in a loving God who lives
My Jesus!
My Jesus!
My Jesus!
Jesus my Lord!

Truth is...The idea of greeting each new morning with a peaceful song of praise is great, but hard to live up to. Maybe I should program my alarm clock to play this song.
