If today was my last day
I just wasted it
If today was my last day
I would ask for more credit
On my life

If today was my last day
Did I talk to Christ?
If today was my last day
Did I put Him first?
In my life

If today was my last day
The day when I knew I would die
The day when I could talk no more
The day when I would say goodbye
To my life

Today is the last and only day
That I know I have
This next breath the only one
That I know I'll breathe
This next minute ticking by
The only one I'll see

For tomorrow will never be like today
What am I trying to say?

Be grateful for the now
The future isn't clear
Don't leave yourself with regret
Because of fear

I am filled with apprehention
I am filled with dread
I am filled with pretention
Filling up my foolish head

I am lonely and surrounded
By a filling up of loneliness
I am sad and yet so joyful
With the loss of idol's dear

Tied up in this dread emotion
All at once this nothing is
How can one descibe the feelings
Swirling empty filling drops
Of spinning steady up and down
How can one describe the joy
Of being given such a crown
Taken to a place unknown
Changed so much once I'm found

I am empty with my longing
For the one I love
Yet I'm filled with longing
For the one who loves me
Deeper then the ocean
Broader then the sea
In His hand I am
So will I ever be
