​Lyrics:

I don't know about tomorrow;  
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from it's sunshine
For it's 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.


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
Maybe through the flame or flood;
But His presence does surround me
And I love and serve the Lord.
