This Is the Day the Lord Gave

This is the day the lord gave
                                         From the trave of our life 
                                      Two roads met, one to grave
                                          And one to eternal strife

                                          And the belief was rife 
                                       We had kissed the day off
                                           In the trough of scoff
                                     We lived on the edge of knife

                                 In the grave when earth blackened
                             Out in the dark the time was slackened
                             We knew that it was not the way of life
