ONE DAY AT A TIME!"As thy days, so shall thy strength be!" Deuteronomy 33:25One day at a time, with its failures and fears,With its hurts and mistakes, with its weakness and tears,With its portion of pain, and its burden of care;One day at a time, we must meet and must bear.One day at a time, to be patient and strong,To be calm under trial, and sweet under wrong;Then its toiling shall pass, and its sorrow shall cease;It shall darken and die, and the night shall bring peace.One day at a time, but the day is so long,And the heart is not brave, and the soul is not strong,O piteous Christ, be near all the way;Give courage and patience, and strength for the day.Swift cometh His answer, so clear and so sweet;"Yes I will be with you, your troubles to meet;I will not forget you, nor fail you, nor grieve;I will not forsake you; I never will leave."Not yesterday's load, we are called on to bear,Nor the morrow's uncertain and shadowy care;Why should we look forward, or back with dismay?Our needs, as our mercies, are but for the day.One day at a time, and the day is His day;He has numbered its hours, though they haste or delay.His grace is sufficient, we walk not alone;As the day so the strength, that He giveth His own.
