JUST FOR TODAY, by                    
First Line: Starting on another day
Last Line: Thy help I implore just for today.
Alternate Author Name(s): Mcelhiney, Blanche
Subject(s): Prayer; Strength


Starting on another day,
Father guide me all the way;
Last night's sorrow let me leave;
Not in this day, must I weave
E'en a trace; 'twould blot this day;
So for Thy guidance, now I pray.

More than once I've wondered why
I've death escaped, and on must try;
Now I feel there must be
An increasing purpose here for me.

Teach, or wilt Thou some way show
That I may in new strength grow;
Lead me I'll follow all the way;
Thy help I implore just for today.
