Don't
start your day by supposin ‘
that trouble is just ahead,
It's better to stop supposin’
and start with a prayer instead.
And make it a prayer of Thanksgiving
for the wonderful things God has wrought
Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset,
"God's gifts" that are free
and not bought.
For
what is the use of supposin’
the dire things that could happen to you
And worry about some misfortune
that seldom if ever comes true
But instead of just idle supposin’
step forward to meet each new day
Secure
in the knowledge God's near you
to lead you each step of the way
For
supposin’ the worst things will happen
only helps to make them come true
And you darken the bright, happy moments
that the dear Lord has given to you
So if you desire to be happy
and get rid of the "misery of dread"
Just give up "supposin’ the worst things"
and look for "the best things" instead.
