Never Borrow Sorrow from Tomorrow
Deal only with the present —
never step into tomorrow,
never step into tomorrow,
For God asks us just to trust Him
and to never borrow sorrow,
and to never borrow sorrow,
For the future is not ours to know,
and it may never be,
and it may never be,
So let us live and give our best
and give it lavishly. . .
and give it lavishly. . .
For to meet tomorrow’s troubles
before they are even ours
before they are even ours
Is to anticipate the Savior
and to doubt His all-wise powers,
and to doubt His all-wise powers,
So let us be content to solve
our problems one by one,
our problems one by one,
Asking nothing of tomorrow
except “Thy will be done.”
except “Thy will be done.”
