The Lord has told us not to worry
Of the future or the past
We must give them both to Him
And trust Him till the last

We cannot dwell upon the past
And fill our heart with sorrow
We cannot waste this precious day
With worry of tomorrow

We must ask what Jesus sees
As He peers into our heart
Does He see the great destroyer
Always tearing us apart

Or can He see the promise
Of the faith He's given you
Growing in your heart today
And in the things you do

Jesus has not given us
A Spirit filled with fear
He's given us a promise
That He is always here

Can He see the peace and love
That His spirit carries through
Can He see in us the freedom 
Which He won for me and you

He's told us not to worry
As we travel on our way
For we've no promise of tomorrow
We only have today

He's not looking at our past
He's thrown our sin away
He only sees what's in our heart 
What's in our heart today

So if your heart is troubled
You must take a look within
Are you trusting Him to guide you
Or have you stumbled once again



We cannot live for yesterday
Or fear for our tomorrows
We must give them both to God
Along with all our sorrows
