They say that yesterday is past and the future is unknown
Better focus on the present live the day as if it is your last
I say it’s easier said than done we must simply realize
That no man can truly escape or outrun his old life before
In my younger years I don’t used to worry
I go on with my life just one day at a time
Whatever might tomorrow brings I accept it with glee
Bad luck and misfortunes I meet all with a smile
Now I’m old and grey, knowledgeable and learned
I leave worrying to God, To God I leave all my worry
In his capable hands I’m placing all my trust
My hopes and my dreams my fear and my concern
For only the Lord knows what truly best for me
I trust He will guide me towards the proper path…
