Analysis of Today
The day that's after yesterday,
I spoke to God in prayer.
I said, "I think I lost my way.
Please show me that you care."
The day before tomorrow I
Was sure I felt God tell
My heart and mind I could rely
That love from Him would dwell
Today, tomorrow and always
With me forever more
And that I should tell all in praise
What He has done before!
