O that today we would listen
To the leading of God's voice;
He alone can guide us
And make our hearts rejoice.
Failing to be obedient
May bring others hurt;
When the needs of mankind
We selfishly desert.
Don't put off 'til tomorrow
What you can do today;
Another chance may not
Come your way.
A visit to a sick friend
Is easily achieved;
Who knows when we
May be suddenly bereaved.
Today someone desperately
Needs our love and comfort;
Tomorrow our sympathy
May give them no support.
A tempted friend in his struggle
Calls out for help from you;
Guide him from shame and sorrow
Through what you say and do.
It is today that we must tell
Of the great love of Jesus;
Leading others to Him,
He alone can save us.
Learn well the meaning of now,
Tomorrow may be a fatal word;
Many hopes and lives wrecked,
By not doing when we "heard".
