Only Today is Mine

Only Today is Mine

Only today is mine,

And that I owe to Thee;

Help me to make it thine;

As pure as it may be.

Let it see something done,

Let it see something won,

Then at the setting of the sun

I’ll give it back to Thee.

What if, I cannot tell

The cares the day may bring?

I know that I shall dwell

Beneath thy sheltering wing;

And there the load is light;

And then the dark is bright,

And weakness turns to might,

And so, I trust and sing.

As I sing, I think of “You”,

And all the joys “You” bring.
