Yesterday, Lord, You came into my heart to stay
You gave me peace and taught me how to pray
Oh, thank You, Lord, for yesterday
Now today I want to live my life in Your pure way
I want to walk Your footsteps day by day
Oh, thank You, Lord, for yesterday
Why You loved me so
I don't know, You didn't say
I've done so much wrong
But you forgave me yesterday
Yesterday, Lord, You placed me in Your arms to stay
I want the world to see this better way
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Why You loved me so
I don't know, You didn't say
I've done so much wrong
But you forgave me yesterday
Yesterday, Lord, You came into my heart to stay
You gave me peace and taught me how to pray
Oh, thank You, Lord, for yesterday

Poems are Part I of every song with lyrics. Choose a song you love, and re-write the words. Can be a Broadway tune, a pop or country song, even a Christmas carol -any song at all! But whatever it is, you'll help yourself in the polls if you also post a recorded version of the original song when you post the new-and-improved lyrics/contest entry by you. (Because the voters might not be familiar with the tune, so giving them a chance to listen to it will help them "hear" yours!) |
