"Today Is Mine" can be stunning unacompannied. By Jerry Hubbard, a few have recorded it--Glen Campbell, Tommy Emmanuel (off the top of my head that's who I recall).

When the sun came up this morning
I took the time to watch it rise
And as its beauty struck the darkness from the sky
I thought how small and unimportant
all my troubles seem to be
And how lucky another day belongs to me
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to greet the day
All its silent beauty seemed to say
So what, my friend, if all your dreams you haven't realized
Just look around you, you've got a new day to try
Today is mine, today is mine To do with what I will
Today is mine
My own special cup to fill
To die a little that I might learn to live
To take from life that I might learn to give
Today is mine

Like most men I curse the present void of peace of mind
And race my thoughts beyond tomorrow
Envision there a sweeter time
But as I view this day around me I can see the fool I've been
For today's the only garden that we can tend

And today is mine.

   Good Luck!
