One Day At A Time

One Day At a Time

I never know where this day leads
I cannot see its crook and turn.
I never really know my needs
but every day I seem to learn.

I know not where life's torrents rage,
I only wander down its path.
The architect has set the stage
Often He lines the way with wrath.

I cannot see across the hill
I simply climb each craggy peak.
Sometimes the sea is calm and still,
'tis then I hear the master speak.

He leads me through each stormy day
just when I think all hope is gone.
When skies are dark I hear Him say
"press on my child, you're not alone."

I know not what this day may hold
nor if the path be steep to climb,
My faith in God will keep me bold
To face this life, one day at a time.
