I’ll walk with God—Today—
Tomorrow may not be.
I’ll make the best of TIME—right now—
That God has granted me.
I’ll plan not for a life
That I might live in ease,
But only for today to live
My God alone to please.
Nor dare I think in years
Or move from leaps to bounds;
With God shut out, and self shut in
And selfish aims surround.
There are those who plan their lives,
Who give God little thought;
Who weigh themselves, not with God’s truth,
As every day they ought!
“Boast not thyself,” I’m warned,
“Of what tomorrow brings;
Thy health and wealth—e’en life itself—
May all at once take wings!”
“This night, that soul of thine
May be required of thee:
And dost thou plan the New Year full
There, ‘neath some Christmas tree?”
“Wake up! Take stock, are you prepared?
Your lessons learned alright?
If God, in yet three hours, THIS DAY,
Should close your course TONIGHT?”
