Today is the day

Isaiah 5:20 New English Translation (NET Bible)

20 Beware, those who call evil good and good evil,
who turn darkness into light and light into darkness,
who turn bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter.

 

Today is the day

 

Staring into the future and only seeing blanks

Whatever happened to my daydreams whetting my appetite?

Living in a world where one seldom thanks

Our God for the blessings that are provided day and night

 

Glancing into the past towards imprints of indifference

Stringing like lights together on the tree of good and evil

Examples scattered all around in minds filled with pretense

On this decaying globe in an existence build on feelings
