Tomorrow Is Another Day

Tomorrow Is Another Day

The hours just before daylight,
When sin and sorrows on souls prey.
My Savior whispers choose the right.
Tomorrow is another day.  

When circumstance metes out grave pains,
Unhappiness might wish to stay. 
The Holy Spirit speaks, again.
Tomorrow is another day.  

Each time hope hears the homeless cry
And wonders why jeers mock their stay. 
Soft-spoken words come, by and by. 
Tomorrow is another day.  

And when God's children bray in streets.
Clothes tattered torn, laughter, their play.  
The Lord above protects, entreats. 
Tomorrow is another day.  

Forgiveness lives as Christ proofs love. 
So, when He knocks to guide your way.
Never say to the Lord above.
Tomorrow is another day.
