Day by Day

This song is such an encouragment to me. I have been playing it a lot on the piano lately and it has just become so much more real to me. Let the words sink in and pay attention to the ones I emphasized. Their truths are amazing!!

DAY by DAY

Day by day, and with each passing moment,
Strength I find,

to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for

worry or for fear.
He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best—
Lovingly,

its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and

rest.

*-*-*-*

Every day,

the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would

bear, and cheer me,
He Whose Name is Counselor and

Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge

to me He made.

*-*-*-*

Help me then in every tribulation
So to

trust

Thy promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
Offered

me within Thy holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,
One by one,

the days, the moments fleeting,
Till I reach the

promised land.
