21214. GOD HOLDS THE FUTURE IN HIS HANDS
Lyrics & Stanzas
5 portions
Verse 1
Dread not the things that are ahead, The burdens great, the sinking sands, The thorns that o'er that path are spread, God holds the future in His hands.
Verse 2
We know not what tomorrow hides, Of sun or storm, of good or ill; We only know His dear hand guides, And He will be our Father still.
Verse 3
His hand created earth and sky, The zephyrs and the storms that rage, And years to come and years gone by To Him are but an open page.
Verse 4
Live close to Him and trust His love, Assured that while on earth we roam, Whate'er may come, He bends above To guide His children safely home.
Chorus
God holds the future in His hands, And ev'ry heart He understands; On Him depend; He is your Friend; He holds the future in His hands.
