One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time, Sweet Jesus

I'm only human, I'm just a woman.
Help me believe in what I could be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway, I have to climb.
Lord for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

Chorus:
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all I'm asking from you.
Just give me the strength
To do everyday what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today, show me the way
One day at a time.

Do you remember, when you walked among men?
Well Jesus you know if you're looking below
It's worse now, than then.
Cheating and stealing, violence and crime
So for my sake, teach me to take
One day at a time.

(Chorus)

-------------------------------
So many times when I'm having a really hard time with something or just getting through, the Holy Spirit will whisper the first four lines of this chorus to my heart. Today, I felt His urging to google and refresh my memory of all of the words.

I just wanted to share... maybe He'll touch someone else that needed to hear this today as well. We aren't promised tomorrow, or even the next hour, so what a poignant reminder to go afresh to my Savior every day for not only the strength for that day, but also the direction for where He wants me to put that strength to use.

May He be your strength today for whatever you might be facing, small or large.
May He remind you not to worry about yesterday's mistakes, or what tomorrow may or may not bring.
Rest in His arms today.
