He does not lead me year by year
Nor even day by day.
But step by step my path unfolds;
My Lord directs my way.
Tomorrow’s plans I do not know
I only know this minute;
But He will say, “This is the way,
By faith now walk ye in it.”
And I am glad that it is so,
Today’s enough to bear;
And when tomorrow comes – His grace shall far exceed its care.
What need to worry then, or fret?
The God who gave His Son –
Holds all my moments in His hand
And gives them, one by one.
Barbara C. Ryberg. 1914-2008.
