Live One Day at a Time

Here's the hymn that we've been singing a lot in Spanish. It says about the same thing in English, and has been a blessing to us these days. I hope it will be an inspiration to you, too!

We never know when shadows fall if another day will dawn,
Nor if the plans that we have made will turn out right or wrong;
We only know that Jesus’ love will go on endlessly;
While other’s ‘round about us fall, at peace in Christ we’ll be.

Don’t build your mansions here on earth, nor gather precious stones;
Forget those things that have no worth in an eternal home;
For life is so uncertain, friend, and death is ever near;
So lay up treasures in the sky, insure your presence there.

The beauty of this life seems drear, when seen in heaven’s light;
There is a home prepared by God for Christians living right.
Why hold to pleasures of this world that fade in just a day,
When loving him who gave us life is now the only way.

Chorus
So live one day at a time,
Be thoughtful, loving and kind;
Just do your best and leave God the rest,
And live one day at a time.
