Hymns - Just for Today - Текст песни

My Father, this I ask of Thee;
Knowing that Thou wilt grant the plea???
For this, and only this, I pray
Strength for today???just for today.

Refrain

Strength for each trial and each task,
What more, my Father, should I ask?
Just as I need it, day by day,
Strength for my weakness???this I pray.

I do not ask a lifted load,
Nor for a smooth and thornless road;
Simply for strength enough to bear
Life???s daily burdens anywhere.

Refrain

Strength for the present hour and need???
This given, then I???m blest indeed;
For each day, as it comes, will bring
Sufficient strength for anything.

Refrain

Strength for today, that I may make
Some sad souls glad, for Jesus??? sake;
Then they, with me, at eve shall say,
???Thank God for strength He gave today.???

Refrain
