Just For Today

[vera]

Just for today, Lord, don’t let me look back.

Guide and direct me on to the right track.

Free me from demons, temptations and slips

From wilful indiscipline of a drama that grips

My thoughts and attention and leads me astray

To the depths of addiction each step of the way

To darkness and sorrow, avarice and grief

Self inflicted destruction,under guise of relief

And just for today, Lord, let me not look ahead

In case I get scared of the future or dread

That addiction may never depart or fade

Or least I forget ’twas for You, I was made

And not for a life of Slavery or Death

But for Joy, Love and Peace

Truth, Hope, Faith and Mirth.

So let me look up, Lord on this bright new day

To see Your Face and embrace Your Holy Way

I make this my prayer, Lord

Unite my will with Yours

Protect and defend me when temptation lures.

Hear my prayer, Lord

Come what may

Safeguard and heal me

JUST FOR TODAY.

[Charles – GT]

You know the addiction will never depart
But it’s ok. you know in your heart

You can avoid the peril that lurks
Just get yourself back to what you know works!
