Asking nothing of tomorrow

God’s love endures forever—
what a wonderful thing to know
When the tides of life run against you
and your spirit is downcast and low.
God’s kindness is ever around you
always ready to freely impart
Strength to your faltering spirit,
cheer to your lonely heart.
God’s presence is ever beside you,
as near as the reach of your hand.
You have but to tell Him your troubles—
there is nothing He won’t understand …
And knowing God’s love is unfailing,
and His mercy unending and great,
You have but to trust in His promise,
“God comes not too soon or too late” …
So wait with a heart that is patient
for the goodness of God to prevail,
For never do prayers go unanswered,
and His mercy and love never fail.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof …
It speaks of His greatness, it sings of His love.
And each day at dawning I lift my heart high
And raise up my eyes to the infinite sky.
I watch the night vanish as a new day is born,
And I hear the birds sing on the wings of the morn.
I see the dew glisten in crystal-like splendor
While God, with a touch that is gentle and tender,
Wraps up in the night and softly tucks it away
And hangs out the sun to herald a new day …
And so I give thanks and my heart kneels to pray,
“God, keep me and guide me and go with me today.”

What must I do to ensure peace of mind?
Is the answer I’m seeking too hard to find?
How can I know what God wants me to be?
How can I tell what’s expected of me?
Where can I go for guidance and aid
To help me correct the errors I’ve made?
The answer is found in doing three things,
And great is the gladness that doing them brings.
“Do justice”—“Love kindness”—
“Walk humbly with God”—
For with these three things as your rule and your rod,
All things worth having are yours to achieve,
If you follow God’s words and have faith to believe.

There is no thinking person
who can stand untouched today
And view the world around
us slowly drifting to decay
Without feeling deep within
him a silent, unnamed dread
As he contemplates the future
that lies frighteningly ahead …
But the problems we are facing
cannot humanly be solved
For our diplomatic strategy
only gets us more involved
And our skillful ingenuity,
our technology and science
Can never change a sinful heart
filled with hatred and defiance …
So our problems keep on
growing every hour of every day
As man vainly tries to solve them
in his own self-willful way …
But man is powerless alone to
clean up the world outside
Until his own polluted soul
is clean and free inside …
For the amazing power of love
is beyond all comprehension
And it alone can heal this world
of its hatred and dissension.

Somebody cares and always will—
The world forgets, but God loves you still
You cannot go beyond His love
No matter what you’re guilty of,
For God forgives until the end—
He is your faithful, loyal friend …
And though you try to hide your face,
There is no shelter any place
That can escape His watchful eye,
For on the earth and in the sky
He’s ever-present and always there
To take you in His tender care
And bind the wounds and mend the breaks
When all the world around forsakes.
Somebody cares and loves you still,
And God is the someone who always will.

Sometimes when faith is running low
And I cannot fathom why things are so,
I walk among the flowers that grow
And learn the answers to all I would know …
For among my flowers I have come to see
Life’s miracle and its mystery,
And standing in silence and
So let us be content
to solve our problems one by one,
Asking nothing of tomorrow
