FAITH
by Bette McGregor
I care not what tomorrow brings
Content I am today
I know the blessed Lord above
Will hear the word I pray
I ask Him not for wealth or fame
My needs He will provide
Just give me strength to meet each day
Be ever at my side
He hears my every cry of pain
He knows my joys and sorrow
And He who sees each sparrow fall
Will not fail me tomorrow
