[Verse 1]
Have I given anything, Lord, today?
Have I helped some needed soul on the way?
Oh, just to know I’ve done my best
As I go to take my rest
Let my name be with the blessed, Lord, today
[Chorus]
Oh today, oh today, oh today, Lord today
(Oh today, oh today, oh today, oh today)
Have I filled some greater claim on the way?
Oh, from the dawn till setting sun
Have I wounded anyone?
Shall I weep for what I’ve done today?
[Verse 2]
Have the saviours named my hill, Lord, today?
Have I helped someone who have lost the way?
Oh if I fail, Lord, some soul’ll guide
Deep in love and peace of mind
I find joy to know I’ve tried, Lord, today
[Chorus]
Oh today, oh today, oh today, Lord today
(Oh today, oh today, oh today, oh today)
Have I filled some greater claim on the way?
Oh just to know, Lord, I’ve done my best
As I go to take my rest
Let my name be with the blessed, Lord, today
