Today I want to thank you

For all that you have done.

You saved my sinful soul,

When you sent Your precious Son.

Yesterday is behind me.

Today I start brand new.

I cannot change the past

But today, Your best I choose.

Today I’ll love another,

While choosing to forgive.

For in forgiving others,

A peaceful life I’ll live.

In sharing joy with others,

It often comes my way.

For you see, it is contagious,

Pass along some cheer today.

I cannot see the present,

If I’m always looking back.

So today, I’ll live and love;

And leave yesterday in the past.

When Satan comes to tell me

Just how terrible I’ve been,

I tell him I’m forgiven.

And I quote the Great I Am!
