Lord, Tomorrow Is Today

Well Lord,
     Tomorrow is today –
          And with its
               Rising sun
                    And clear sky
                         All the
                              Way –

I wonder how –
     Within this world of ours
           Life can
                Progress,

Though grass
     And trees
          And flowers –

Emerge in bloom;
     And birds,
          Returned
              With warming days

Sing out their songs
     And with their
           Cheerful praise
                Remind us
                     Of –

Your care for all of us
     This day –
          Your bread –
               Given amidst
                    This fuss –

Just yesterday
     I sang
          That hymn again –

“Today I live,
      Tomorrow face again
            Because You live –
                 My heart
                      Takes
                             Comfort

                                    In that fact.”

Tomorrow’s here –
     I can’t pretend
          To act –

As if it’s not
     Or that resource
          That’s here

Sufficient is –
     It’s not,
          And that is clear.

Lord it’s not faith
     You share through me
          Each day;
               I import that –
                    Please give
                        That gift
                             Today.

Thanks.
