You Don’t Know If You’ll Have Tomorrow Poem by C R Clark

This was originally written as a song

You don’t know if, you’ll have tomorrow
Or even if you’ll have tonight
All you know that you have for certain
Is right now, my friend, right now
God is calling, Satan’s tempting
Life or death is what’s at stake
You can’t ignore it, you must act on it
This decision will be made

The preacher just stepped down from the pulpit
The invitation has begun
As I stand here my body is trembling
My face is flushed, my hands are numb
The Holy Spirit’s working on my soul now
Like he’s done so many times
My heart is beating wilder all the time now
As the preacher’s words keep running through my mind

You don’t know if you’ll have tomorrow
Or even if you’ll have tonight
All you know that you have for certain
Is right now, my friend right now
God is calling, Satan’s tempting
Life or death is what’s at stake
You can’t ignore it, you must act on it
This decision will be made

I just asked the Lord to forgive me
And to cleanse my heart today
I feel a holy warmth all around me
And the prayers of every saint in the place
My heart is full of joy, I received him
Tears have begun to fill my eyes
One second I was standing here in silence
But now, my feet are running down the aisle

You don’t know if you’ll have tomorrow
Or even if you’ll have tonight
All you know that, you have for certain
Is right now, my friend, right now
God is calling, Satan’s tempting
Life or death is what’s at stake
You can’t ignore it, you must act on it
This decision will be made
