Tomorrow

I don't know about tomorrow because it's not promised. 

    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.

I just live from day to day because tomorrow may never come

    Ephesians 6: 15 - 17 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

I don't borrow from its sunshine because it provides for me on its own

    Matthew 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust

For its skies may turn to grey because God said rain makes a new day

    Isaiah 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. 

    leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

I don't worry o'er the future

    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.

For I know what Jesus said. 

    Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

And today I'll walk beside Him,

    Leviticus 26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

For He knows what lies ahead.

    Philippians 3:13 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Many things about tomorrow unseen and unknown

    Isaiah 41:13 Fear not; I will help thee.

I don't seem to understand because I'm human and err, but to err, it to learn

    1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

But I know who holds tomorrow

    Psalms 31:15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 

And I know who holds my hand.

    Isaiah 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee,

Every step is getting brighter because I'm closer to Christ

    Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

As the golden stairs I climb to thy Heavenly Father and Kingdom

    Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

Every burden's getting lighter because Christ carried them for me to the Cross

    Matthew 11:28 & 29 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

    Matthew 11:30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls

 

Every cloud is silver-lined by God

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

 

There the sun is always shining in Thy Kingdom

    Isaiah 60:19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.

 

There no tear will dim the eye because Christ wiped the away

    Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

 

At the ending of the rainbow will be Christ and thy Kingdom

    Genesis 9:15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

 

Where the mountains touch the sky

    PSALMS 144:5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains

 

It may bring me poverty.

    Proverbs 30:7-9 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:

    Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:

    Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.

 

But the one who feeds the sparrow

    Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

 

Is the one who stands by me when all others fail

    2 Timothy 4:16-18 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

    Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

    And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

And the path that is my portion

    Lamentations 3:24-26 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

    The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

    It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

May be through the flame or flood;

    Isaiah 43:2-8 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

    For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

    Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

    Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;

    I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;

    Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

    Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

But His presence goes before me

    Deuteronomy 31:8 And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

And I'm covered with His blood.

    Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Music and Lyrics by Ira Stanphill (1950)

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.

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