Today
By Bernadine McIntosh
Yesterday is past and gone
Tomorrow is but a dream
Today is all that I have
To be the best 'me' I can be
Yesterday is but a memory
Tomorrow I may not see
So what I have to do in life
I must begin today!
I must do all I can today!
I will not dwell on yesterday!
I cannot count on tomorrow,
I must do my best today!
So at the dawn of this new day
I make a promise in my heart
To not wait until tomorrow
But do my best today!
Original Version
A New Day Dawning
Yesterday is past and gone
Tomorrow is but a dream
Today is all that I have
To fulfill God's holy call
Yesterday is but a memory
Tomorrow I may not see
So what I have to do for God
I must do today!
God cares not about yesterday
And tomorrow he's never promised
He judges me by my todays
so I must live it to the fullest
I must do all I can today!
I will not dwell on yesterday!
I cannot count on tomorrow,
I must do God's will today!
So at the dawn of this new day
I make a promise in my heart
To not wait until tomorrow
But do God's will today!
