Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I don't know about tomorrow

I just live from day to day

I don't borrow from the sunshine

For the skies they turn to grey.


And I don't worry for the future

For I know what Jesus said

And today I'll walk beside him

For he's 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 ever dim the eye

At the ending of the rainbow

Where the mountains touch the sky.


Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand.
