I love this song sung by Dolly Parton.
Do take time to click on the arrow
And listen to her beautiful rendition
Of this “One Day at a Time” – and sing along!
Yesterday’s Gone, Sweet Jesus
And tomorrow may never be nigh
Lord help me today
Show me the way
One day at a time.
It doesn’t add a single second to our lives
To worry about what might have been mine
Or to fret about what tomorrow may bring
Teach me to look up and take one day at a time
Let Your Light shine on me, Lord
Show me how to be what You made me to be
Guide my feet and my thoughts in Your Light
Show me how to live in the NOW and be free
Free from the worry that doubting brings
Free to dance and to plan and to find joy
In the blessings You send every day
Free to ignore and toss aside the things that annoy
Life’s full of trials, confusion and lies
It’s hard to discern what is Truth and is right
Guide me today to do as You say
And to pray for life’s wisdom. May I sleep well tonight!
Sleep well tonight, my friends.
Take one day at a time!
See ya tomorrow.
Love,
JanBeek

Thank you, {{{Karla}}} … the song is infectious, isn’t it?
Profound poem. And the song is beautiful!
Thank you so much! <3
Of course!
One of the first songs I sang publicly at the Stanislaus county fair many many many years ago! One day at a time! I love that version that Dolly sings.
I love that version, too. But, we’d love to hear you sing it, Laina <3
Thank you Jan for spreading some goodness with your gift of poetry and Dolly’s inspiration in song. May the Lord’s grace and peace bless your week’s journey, whenever it takes you. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you, {{{Richard}}} – You stay safe and healthy, too.. and give {{{Colleen}}} a gentle hug from me <3
