I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
(Words by Ira Stanphill, 1950)
[Intro]
G C D G
[Verse 1]
G G7
I don’t know about tomorrow;
C G
I just live from day to day.
C G
I don’t borrow from its sunshine
A7 D
For its skies may turn to grey.
G G7
I don’t worry o’er the future,
C G
For I know what Jesus said.
C G
And today I’ll walk beside Him,
G D G
For He knows what is ahead.
[Chorus]
C G
Many things about tomorrow
A7 D
I don’t seem to understand
G C
But I know who holds tomorrow
G D G
And I know who holds my hand.
[Verse 2]
G G7
Every step is getting brighter
C G
As the golden stairs I climb;
C G
Every burden’s getting lighter,
A7 D
Every cloud is silver-lined.
G G7
There the sun is always shining,
C G
There no tear will dim the eye;
C G
At the ending of the rainbow
G D G
Where the mountains touch the sky.
[Chorus]
C G
Many things about tomorrow
A7 D
I don’t seem to understand
G C
But I know who holds tomorrow
G D G
And I know who holds my hand.
[Verse 3]
G G7
I don’t know about tomorrow;
C G
It may bring me poverty.
C G
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
A7 D
Is the one who stands by me.
G G7
And the path that is my portion
C G
May be through the flame or flood;
C G
But His presence goes before me
G D G
And I’m covered with His blood.
[Chorus]
C G
Many things about tomorrow
A7 D
I don’t seem to understand
G C
But I know who holds tomorrow
G D G
And I know who holds my hand.
