Another Day Has Come and Gone

Composer: Josiah Carley, 2011

Another day has come and gone;

What have I done to please You?

Have I real­ized Your per­fect plan

Or have I lived my own?

Would I be glad for all to see

My writ­ten re­cord

the whole sto­ry

Or would I long to wipe the de­tails away?

Another day has come and gone;

What have I done to praise You?

Have You been glo­ri­fied by me

Or have I brought You shame?

Because I lived an­oth­er day

Does some­one

som­ewhere

now love You more

Or has my in­flu­ence been set for the wrong?

Another day has come and gone;

What have I done to serve You?

Have I held high Your dear­est cause

Or have I let it down?

Have I aban­doned self to­day

And lived for You

Lord

in ev’ry way

Or have I lived

and loved

and giv­en for me?

Another day has come and gone;

How have I sped Your com­ing?

Have I become more like my Lord

Or have I lost my flame?

Oh help me

Lord

live ev’ry day

So when each ends

I can tru­ly say:

Yes

I have lived for my dear Je­sus to­day.
