Welcome!

Welcome to Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow! My goal, and the purpose of this blog, is to encourage young women in their daily life and their walk with God. The wonderful hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness, which contains the line “Strength for today, bright hope for tomorrow”, has become a favorite of mine as God has given me strength each day to follow Him, and the bright hope for both my earthly future and eternity in Heaven. As Christ brings me strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, I hope you find it as well. Great is HIS faithfulness!

The Song in My Heart ~ In My Heart There Rings a Melody

In My Heart There Rings a Melody

I have a song that Jesus gave me;
It was sent from heaven above.
There never was a sweeter melody;
‘Tis a melody of love.

I love the Christ who died on Calvary,
For He washed my sins away.
He put within my heart a melody,
And I know it’s there to stay.

‘Twill be my endless theme in glory;
With the angels I will sing.
‘Twill be a song with glorious harmony
When the courts of heaven ring.

In my heart there rings a melody,
There rings a melody with heavens harmony.
In my heart there rings a melody of love.


This short song puts so well the attitude we as Christians should have. Jesus Christ came to earth to die and take away our sins. That is something to sing about! He has given us a song to sing with joy and gusto. This song reminds us of God’s love for us and tells others of the love God has for them as well. I often sing this song when my heart is downcast. The bouncy tune and wonderful words instantly turn the grey clouds to sunshine and my frown to a smile.

Happy Singing!

Thanks for posting Elton Roth's cheering gospel song. Countless Christians down through the years have proven that God's child can have a song of joy, even in the most trying circumstances--just as Paul and Silas sang in prison (Acts 16:25).

Today is the 58th anniversary of Roth's death. If you like reading about our hymns and their history, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns.
