Today

If there was one day when I could be me,
Be the man I always wanted to be
If there was one day when I could let go
Of all the things that I carry in tow
If there was one day when I could look
And see all of myself as pages of a book
If there was one day when I could forget
Every bad memory and every regret
If there was one day when I could show
The love I feel to everyone I know

There is a day when all this is true
The day I will do the things I want to
The day when could becomes that which is
The day my will becomes all-together His

This day is both very far and very near
Looking ahead, I can look without fear
For I can choose today as that day
And know tomorrow it won’t go away

For God is a God of this day and the next
He’s promised His love in His sacred Text
Though I may struggle to see that which is
I know the future is ultimately His

So today is the day when I will be me,
I will be the man I want now to be
And God will be the God that is
And someday my will will be all-together His
