I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Jesus takes care of the flowers and the birds, and He will take care of us. 


But the important thing is to put Him first in our lives.


As someone has said, “Today is the tomorrow that we worried.”


I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

____________________________


I don’t know about tomorrow;  —  I just live from day to day.  —  I don’t borrow from its sunshine  —  For its 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 lies ahead.


CHORUS:

Many things about tomorrow   —   I don’t seem to understand,  —  But I know who holds tomorrow  —  And I know who holds my hand.


Every step is getting brighter  —  As the golden stairs I climb;  —  Every burden’s getting lighter,   —  Every cloud is silver-lined.  —  There the sun is always shining,  —  There no tear will dim the eye;   —   At the ending of the rainbow  —  Where the mountains touch the sky.


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 be my portion  —  May be through the flame or flood; — But His presence goes before me  —  And I’m covered with His blood.


Ira F. Stanphill  1950
