He’s Changing Me

 

 

One day at a time

The Lord is changing me,

One day at a time

That’s all the change I see.

 

Moment by moment

He takes me along,

For the trial in the present

He makes me strong.

 

I am stronger today

Than I was yesterday,

My spirit is thriving

Though my body decays.

 

I gaze in the distance

But I cannot see far

And the little that I see

Appears somewhat marred.

 

But He oft assures me

Worry not of tomorrow,

Today all by itself

Is enough of sorrow.

 

Yes! He is changing me

One day at a time,

And he does it from within

Capturing my mind.

 

Bringing me to understand

That whatever betide,

By His Holy Spirit

He lives on the inside.

 

You may be puzzled

As you analyze me,

And you may not be satisfied

With what you see.

 

That is only because

My increments are small

And just one day at a time

 It looks like I’ve stalled.

 

That is true sometimes

But I will never turn back,

Jesus is my only hope!

At least, I have learnt that.

 

My journey is dotted

With defeats here and there

But God is holding me up

And faith displaces fear.

 

I am His

And He is mine,

And I have absolutely no doubt

It will be so even after time.

 

 

So, one day at a time

Is all you will get to see,

That God is changing me

Is my reality.

 

Judge me if you wish

Though, ill-advisedly so,

God is doing far more for me

Than time will ever show.

 

But eternity will tell

When all time is gone,

And my change will be complete

When eternity dawns.

 

One dawn it will be,

No more day, no more night,

And my change you will see

For then all will be right!
