I Don’t Know About Tomorrow

I don’t know about tomorrow,
I don’t have a guarantee
That it will be filled with sunshine
Or that these clouds will always be.

I don’t know about tomorrow,
I don’t have a guarantee,
That it will bring any riches
Or greater poverty.

I don’t know about tomorrow,
I don’t have a guarantee,
That the air will be filled with music
Or if there will be no melody.

I don’t know about tomorrow,
I don’t have a guarantee.
The events of the future
Aren’t for me to see.

I don’t need to know the details,
Or what might happen when.
I just need to know what Trust is
And how to hold His hand.

I might be afraid of failure,
I might be afraid of pain.
But every life has sunshine
Just as surely as it has rain.

So I don’t know about tomorrow.
I don’t need a guarantee
I can still choose to make it
As happy as it can be.

I can choose to smell the roses,
And be thankful for the thorns
And to focus on the blessings
Hidden even in the storms.

I don’t know about tomorrow.
I don’t have a guarantee.
But Lord make my heart always thankful
For every blessing you let me see.

Let me trust you with tomorrow,
And with the problems and the pain
And gather up the simple beauties of the good times
And the blessings of storm and rain.

Happy New Year!
