After today I'll get me out of this place
Into the world so I can set a new pace
Seems I'm on my own from here
Vision doesn't seem so clear
Won't You lay me in Your hands of grace
I've got a funny feeling that I'm gonna go away
Gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade
I've got a ways to go from here and vision doesn't seem so clear
But praise God He's got a plan and understanding isn't my place
After today I'm gonna come face to face
With a new world who knows I'm feeling this way
I've got a ways to go from here
I'm gonna overcome these fears
Still I'm gonna need Your hands of grace
I'll be a bigger man... I'll pray a bigger prayer
I'll dream a bigger dream...for today.
