The Best Journal

Every day is a page 
	to write a new story 
Every moment a stage 
	to act for God's glory 
The pen is in God's hands 
	He inscribes what He will
The director demands 
	that we our parts fulfil

Am I willing to do 
	what He's written for me?
Surrender wholly to 
	Divine authority?
Yes, I'm His humble quill
	composing by His grace
 For His name's sake, I will 
	do whatever He says 

A morning mystery 
	that gives so much delight 
Will soon turn history 
	by the time it is night 
But, for God when I write 
	it will stay eternal
When He's in the limelight
	it'll prove the best journal.
