I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

 Hebrews 13:5-6  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 

[6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.


Believers don’t have to worry about the future. 


We have God’s promise to never forsake us. 


Whatever the future holds, we can know the Lord is our helper and nobody can scare us. That’s all we need. 


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
