Make the best of life today--
Take what God has given;
Do not falter on the way--
Each step leads to Heaven.
Tho' the journey may be long,
And the way be weary,
Make it shorter with a song--
Days will seem less dreary.
Let the sunshine fill your heart--
All it's shadows hiding;
Do your humble little part--
Leave to God the guiding.
Do not soar to highest things
'Till you have a reason;
He will give the soul it's wings
In his own good season.
Little robins in the nest--
Ere their wings are stronger--
Learn too late that it is best
To keep patient longer.
If you cannot do to-day
What you hope and plan,
God will show a better way,--
Do the best you can.

Everything has its season
In order for new growth
One day the beauty will be seen
From the seeds that God has sowed
For our lives are like a garden,
The planting of the Lord,
Sun and rain combine to bring
A bountiful reward
For seeds need God's nature
In order to produce
A beautiful, fragrant garden
Ready for kingdom use
At times, God needs to weed out
Ungodly things in us,
So nothing will come to threat
The sowing within He does
As we grow to our potential
In what God's given us,
We will be more effective
In the spreading of His love
And as we spread this seed
Of His love to other lives,
We will reap a mighty harvest
Of souls for Jesus Christ
Our lives forever changed
From what it was before,
The beauty produced in our lives
Is the reflection of the Lord.
