One Day at a Time

If just for today, Lord,
I’ll keep my eyes and heart in tune 
To Your ever-loving presence.  

I’ll walk with You, 
Talk with you, and glean 
Upon Your every word ...   

Be ready to go, 
Ready to stay, and bask 
In the fullness of Your day.

If just for today, Lord, 
I’ll find joy in whatever
Comes my way ...   

Give You glory in each situation, 
Smell the roses, pat the dog, and
Enjoy the wonder of Your creation.

If just for today, Lord, 
I’ll check my thoughts, 
Motives, and ways.  

I’ll see through Your eyes 
All You’d have me to see and 
Be all You’d have me to be. 

I’ll reach out to my fellow man, 
Give others a helping hand, 
And let Christ live in me.
 

The life of a true servant 
Can only be lived 
“One Day at A Time.”
