One Day At A Time

When life is good, and all seems bright,

you don't have to worry if the

day will come out right;

But if trouble comes,

and you are filled with despair, and you know in

your heart that no one will care;

Take it one day at a time.

One day at a time,

we can be patient and strong;

One day at a time, but the day is sometimes long;

the heart is not brave

and the soul is not strong;

"dear God, we pray,

be near all the way, to  give courage and strength ,

just for the day"

Swift comes His answer, so clear and sweet:

"I will be with you, your troubles to meet;

I will never forget you, nor fail you when you grieve;

I will never forsake you, I will never leave"

Not yesterday's loads are we called on to bear;

nor tomorrow's uncertain and shadowy care;

Why should we look forward,

or backward with dismay;

Our needs, as our mercies, are but for Today1

One day at a time, the day is His day;

He has numbered it's hours,

though they hasten or delay.

His grace is sufficient, we walk not alone;

As the day goes, so his strength goes,

He gives us his own!
