Today is the Day
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Today is the day of your salvation!
Why worry about what tomorrow will bring?
Why sing the songs of yesterday you sing?
I’m going to write you a new song today!
A song of a love that won’t go away!
I’m going to write this song on your heart!
I’m going to write it and give you a new start!
I know timing is singing; not my time but yours!
And I’ll sing it again; I’ll sing to you Lord!
So then how will you make room for your sword?
I’ll do what pleases me; I’ll do it through my Word!
