Today

Today is not an ordinary day

Today is not just a time to play

Today’s not to be a time lived for self

Today is time to put self on the shelf

Today is a day to commit life to God

Today is a day to stop being a fraud

Today is a time to make Jesus your Lord

Life that’s without Him you cannot afford

Tomorrow may be what you not want to be

Tomorrow you may not be free as a bee

Tomorrow you can’t really anticipate

And by tomorrow it may be too late

So, please do not take the life you are given

For granted and think you’ll end up in heaven

For Jesus has said if you say to Him, “Lord,”

But then you live idly, His grace not afford

For you not obey Him and do what he says

But you walk in sin, live for self, now instead

You live for your idols, what pleases your soul

For you’re not in Jesus, your life not made whole

So give of your life, give it now all to God

Surrender your will to Him, not be a fraud

Die to your sin and deny what is self

No longer put God and His Word on a shelf

Live for Him daily, do all that He says

Walk in His fellowship, praise Him, instead

Walk in His holiness, purity vow

Give up your idols and to HIM now bow
