Was this my final trouble

Has it come and gone?

The Lord answered softly,                              

“There’s another coming on”

 

Will it come tomorrow?

Can’t I hide away?                               

He said, “You could stand and face it

It could come today”

 

CHORUS         

I said, Tomorrow - The Lord said, “Today”

He said, “You can do better, you can kneel right now and pray”

I said, Tomorrow - He said, “Tomorrow’s far away”

I said, How about tomorrow, Lord? - He said, “What about today?”

 

My neighbor needs my help again     

But right now I can’t delay

Maybe later on this week

Does it have to be today?

 

God said, “Later is a travesty 

You could wait your life away

Tomorrow may not happen

But what about today?”

 

CHORUS

 

Will this be my last chance 

To try, or is it gone?

The Lord answered softly,                              

“There’s another coming on

 

Though lions roar and people war, 

You can’t keep life at bay

You can’t trust luck or destiny

But I am here today”

 

CHORUS
