A Better Tomorrow

(Verse 1: Thanksgiving)

For dreams of a future where our children thrive,
For every endeavor to keep hope alive.
We’re thankful for visionaries who pave the way,
For tomorrow’s promise we work today.

(Chorus: Worship)

Architect of Ages, Your plans are true,
On the foundation of love, we build with You.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
In every step, we take towards the sun.

(Verse 2: Repentance)

We’ve borrowed from tomorrow, and today we owe,
Short-sighted gains, the seeds we shouldn’t sow.
For burdens we’ve crafted for the ones to come,
We ask forgiveness, let Your will be done.

(Chorus: Worship)

Lord of Tomorrow, Your foresight grants,
A path of stewardship, second chances.
Hand in hand, may we walk Your way,
Securing a hopeful, brighter day.

(Bridge: Reflection/Prayer)

Grant us the wisdom to protect and preserve,
A legacy of love, for the curve of the earth.
That each generation may rise and say,
‘Blessed be the Lord, who lit our way.’

A better tomorrow, today we decree,
For the sons and daughters, let them be free.
To live, to love, to dream, to grow,
In the garden of Your mercy, let them know.

(Chorus: Worship – Repeat and Fade)

Architect of Ages, Your plans are true,
On the foundation of love, we build with You.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done,
In every step, we take towards the sun.
