God's Day
God's Day
Today--this day--this very day
Is God's day!
Fresh from His hand,
And lent to me so graciously,
A day He planned.
Today, there's work for us to do
Together;
It is not mine.
The day, the work, and I are His,
At His design.
And if today some sorrow comes
Ere night fall--
Some pain or care--
Yet I will know He's with me still;
This day we share.
And in this day of ours I'll find
The gladness
He waits to show.
Some burst of joy, or quiet peace,
Today I'll know.
I will not wait tomorrow's
Golden hue
Or rosy way,
But with His joy I'll really live
In God's today.

To Be Like Jesus
To be like Jesus
This hope possesses me.
In every thought and deed
This is my aim, my creed....
To be like Jesus
This hope possesses me.
The Spirit helping me
Like Him I'll be.... (Gospel song--unknown author)
Romans 8:29 (KJV) For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
