One by One

The following verse is by an anonymous author as far as I know.  It came to my attention years ago in college when a music student friend of mine put the verse to music.  I learned it and have sung it many times over the years.

A dear friend of mine is currently under the weight of having his wife and children in an auto accident and while the kids are good the mom, Ruth, faces much re-constructive surgery.  The thoughts expressed in this song I send out to them in love.

"He does not lead me year by year, or even day by day."
"But step by step my path unfolds and God directs my way, as God directs my way. "


"What need to worry then, or fret.  For God Who gave His Son"
"Holds all my moments in His hand and He gives them one by one, He gives them one by one."


"Now I am glad that this is so.  Today's enough to bear."
"And when tomorrow comes His Grace shall far exceed my care, shall far exceed my care."


"What need to worry then, or fret.  For God Who gave His Son"
"Holds all my moments in His hand and He gives them one by one, He gives them one by one."
