You say you'll do much in the years to come,
but what have you done today?
You plan to give wealth in a princely sum,
but how much have you given away?
You'll heal broken hearts and dry every tear,
bring to them hope and take away fear;
Carry His Word to those far and near;
but what have you done today?

You say you'll be kind - after a while,
but what have you done today?
The lonely and hurting wait for your smile,
you promised to light up their way;
Your aim is to give truth a grander birth
and to steadfast faith a deeper worth,
To carry His love to the ends of the earth,
but what have you done today?

You plan to reap much in the by-and-by,
but what have you sown today?
You plan to build mansions up in the sky,
but what have you built today?
It's nice to dream and in visions bask,
but here and now have you done your task?
The only real question that matters, I ask,
is what have you done today?
