If I knew it would be the la st time, That I'd see you fall asleep, i would tuck you in more
tightly, And pray the Lord your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the la st time, That I see you walk
out the door, I would give you a hug and a kiss, And call you back for ju st one more. If I knew it would be the la st time,
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would tape each word and action, And play them back*throughout my
days. If l knew it would be the last time. I would spare an extra minute or two
To stop and say, "I love you," Instead of assuming you know 1do. S o ju st in case tomorrow never comes, And today is all I get, I'd like to sa y how much I love
you, And I hope we never will forget, tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance, You get to
hold your loved one tight. S o if you're waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today? For if tomorrow never
comes, You'll surely regret the day That you didn't take t h a t extra time,
For a smile, a hug or a kiss, And you were too busy to grant someone What turned out to be their one last
wish. S o hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them you love them very much, and You'll always hold them dear. Take time to say, "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "it's OK." And if tomorrow never comes, You'll have no
regrets abouttoday.

1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? th e LORD is the strength of my life; of whom
shall I be a fra id ?2When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to e a t up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. 3Though an host should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear, though war should rise against me, in th is will I be confident.4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, th a t will I seek after; th a t l may dwell in the house of th e LORD all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. 5 For in th e tim e of trouble he
shall hide me in his pavilion: in th e secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall s e t me up upon a rock.6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine
enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, 1will sing praises unto the LORD. 7 Hear, 0 LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. b When thou said st, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will 1seek. 9 Hide not th y face fa r from me; put not th y servant away in anger: thou h ast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, 0 God of my salvatio n .10When my father and my mother forsake me, then th e LORD will take me u p .11Teach me thy way, 0 LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enem ies.12 Deliver me not over unto th e will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such a s breathe out cru e lty.13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.14 W ait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
