  			I Know Who Holds Tomorrow 
(Words by Ira Stanphill, 1950)  

G  C  D  G 
  
        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. 
     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. 
      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. 
     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. 
        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. 
     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. 
      G                C 
Yes I know who holds tomorrow 
      G  D              G 
And I know who holds my hand.
