Things of the Past
Things of the past
and what once were my dreams
Things of the future
and my possible schemes
my head's in a whirl
sadness a cloud
but I'm failing to live with you now
as I should
The present is all that we have on this earth
it's all that we have
the only time in which to love
and a future that's built
on presents handled right
will gleam down the years
minimise the tears
shine through the darkness
till the brightest day dawns
Lord, calm the fears
Still my mind
Be my centre once again
I'm sorry, Lord, I got it so wrong
Please forgive me
Help me live it
right with you
Live and love in You today.
