Today I was sad

Today the skies looked pretty gray

I didn't see too much in the future

The past looked like it always has

The tears came and went, and came again

For no particular reason other than...

Well, other than it's Monday

Got my bills paid

Got my health

Got all my teeth

But today, for just a minute

My skies were really gray

It was like being at the bottom of a dark hole

And it's really warm and sunny up top

But my mind was so clouded that I couldn't reach that high

So I sat down in that hole and started to cry

Then I remembered something that He said

You can't enjoy the good if there's never any bad

You see I called you to stand

And folks won't be there all the time

So you have to learn to stand anyway

Even alone, even alone

Don't get discouraged because I've written the end

You're just travelin through

Your hand is in My hand

So keep up with the faith as you go from glory to glory

And don't forget to call on Me

Because I already know the end of this story

Keep travelin through

Keep holdin my hand

Today I was sad

But just for a minute

Because I remember what He said

And I remember all I've put in it

Today I was sad

But just for a minute

I'm over it now and better equipped for the race

But of course He already knew that
