When yesterday I visited my dreaded moth’r in law
I would not even speak to her, her cruelty to repay
Plus out of spite I stepped on her beloved poodle’s paw
But wait! I sense God’s urging me, “Go be a saint TODAY!”

Wow! Yesterday I blew it and did lots of things plum wrong
So busy that I made no time for fam’ly or to pray
Just running like a headless chicken stressed the whole day long
But hush! I hear God whispering, “Go be a saint TODAY!”

Yikes! Yesterday I sinned a lot, let pride and hatred rule
Looked out for “number 1” (so selfish) I feel such dismay
I gossiped, took God’s name in vain, and called my friend a fool
Hold up! I feel God nudging me, “Go be a saint TODAY!”

My yesterdays were filled with stupid stunts and lustful deeds
But God says He can bring all kinds of good from disarray (Romans 8:28)
I’ll go to Reconciliation as God’s Spirit leads
“Dear Jesus, Mary, help me please! to be a saint TODAY!”
