Facing The New Year

January One is like entering a new chapter in the uncharted journey of life. Will the trip be peaceful and joyful or will we be tossed about like a rag doll, intimidated by surprises?

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day

I don't borrow from it's sunshine for it's skies may turn to grey

I don't worry o'er the future for I know what Jesus said

And today I'll walk beside Him for He knows what is ahead

Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand

I don't know about tomorrow; It may bring me poverty

But the one who feeds the sparrow is the one who stands by me

And the path that is my portion may be through the flame or flood

But His presence goes before me, and I'm covered with His blood
