I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Words by Ira F. Stanphill


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 is 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.

Ev'ry step is getting brighter
as the golden stairs I climb,
ev'ry burden's getting lighter,
ev'ry 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 is my portion
may be through the flame or flood.
But His presence goes before me
and I'm covered with His blood.
