Title: One Day at a Time! Post by: nChrist on September 22, 2017, 03:37:59 PM One Day at a Time! From Timeless Grace Gems (http://www.gracegems.org/19/literature.htm) Annie Johnson Flint "As your days — so shall your strength be!" Deuteronomy 33:25 One 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 comes His answer, so clear and so sweet; "Yes, I'll 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 gives His own. |
