Welcome
Don't Start Your Day By
Supposin'
Don't start your day by
supposin'
That trouble is just ahead
It's better to stop
supposin'
And start with a prayer
instead.
And make it a prayer of
thanksgiving
For the wonderful things
God has wrought
Like the beautiful sunrise
and sunset's
God's gifts that are free
and not bought.
For what is the use of
supposin'
The dire things that could
happen to you
And worry about some
misfortune
That seldom if ever comes
true.
But instead of just idle
supposin'
Step forward to meet each
new day
Secure in the knowledge
God's near you
To lead you each step of
the way.
For supposin' the worst
things will happen
Only helps to make them
come true
And you darken the bright,
happy moments
That the dear Lord has
given to you.
So if you desire to be
happy
And get rid of the misery
of dread
Just give up supposin' the
worst things
And look for the best
things instead.
