I May Never See Tomorrow

I may never see tomorrow, there's no guarantee,

And things that happened yesterday belong to history.

I can't predict the future, I can't change the past,

I have just the present memories to treat as my last.

I must use this moment wisely, for soon it will pass away.

And be lost forever as a part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,

Be a friend unto the friendless, make their life complete.

The unkind things I do today, may never be undone.

And friendships that fail to win, may never more be won.

I may not have another chance on bended knee to pray.

And I thank God with a humble heart for giving me this day!

James 4:13-15   Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain;  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
