Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vilken tröst vad än som kommer på
Allt ju vilar i min Faders händer
Skulle jag som barn väl ängslas då
Han som bär för mig en Faders hjärta
Giver ju åt varje nyfödd dag
Dess beskärda del av fröjd och smärta
Möda vila och behag
Själv han är mig alla dagar nära
För var särskild tid med särskild nåd
Varje dags bekymmer vill han bära
Han som heter både Kraft och Råd
Att sin dyra egendom bevara
Denna omsorg har han lagt på sig
"Som din dag så skall din kraft ock vara"
Detta löfte gav han mig
Hjälp mig då att vila tryggt och stilla
Blott vid dina löften Herre kär
Ej min tro och ej den tröst förspilla
Som i ordet mig förvarad är
Hjälp mig Herre att vad helst mig händer
Taga ur din trogna fadershand
Blott en dag ett ögonblick i sänder
Tills jag nått det goda land
The song "Blott en dag" by Christer & Ulf speaks about finding comfort and solace in the hands of one's heavenly Father. The lyrics emphasize the importance of living in the present moment and relying on God's guidance and provision each step of the way.
The first verse expresses the idea of taking life one moment at a time and finding comfort in the fact that everything rests in the hands of a loving Father. It reassures that there is no need to worry or be anxious, for God, who carries a Father's heart, provides for every day with its share of joy, pain, toil, rest, and pleasure.
The second verse emphasizes the continuous presence of God in one's life. It implies that God is near every single day, offering specific grace for each moment. The lyrics convey the idea that God is both powerful and wise, capable of carrying the burdens and worries of each day. With the names "Kraft" (Strength) and "Råd" (Counsel), God is portrayed as one who can protect and guide his precious belongings.
In the third verse, the lyrics express a plea for help in finding rest and security in God's promises. It emphasizes the importance of not squandering one's belief and the comfort that is stored in God's word. The plea is for God to assist in facing whatever may come, taking from his faithful fatherly hands whatever is needed. The message is to trust in God's provision and guidance, finding reassurance in knowing that He is present and will provide throughout the journey of life.
The fourth and final verse asks for God's help to continue walking in faith, taking each day as it comes. It implies that the journey may be challenging, but with God's support, the destination will be reached - the promised land, symbolizing a place of peace, rest, and fulfillment. The overall message is to trust in God's care, hold on to His promises, and take life one step at a time, knowing that He will provide the strength and guidance needed for each day.
