I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

by Ira Stanphill

I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day;
I don't borrow from its sunshine,
For its skies may turn to gray;
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.


Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand;
But I know who holds tomorrow,
And I know who holds my hand.


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 be my portion,
May be thru the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood.

Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand;

But I know who holds tomorrow,

And I know who holds my hand.

Here Am I, Lord

God is the Fountain

Benj. Beddome and Lowell Mason

God is the fountain whence

Ten thousand blessings flow;

To Him my life, my health, and friends,

And every good I owe.

The comforts He affords

Are neither few nor small;

He is the source of fresh delights,

My portion and my all.

He fills my heart with joy,

My lips attunes for praise;

And to His glory I'll devote

The remnant of my days.

Sing On

Carrie M. Wilson and Jno. R. Sweney

Sing on, ye joyful pilgrims,
Nor think the moments long;
My faith is heav'nward rising
With every tuneful song;
Lo! on the mount of blessing,
The glorious mount I stand;
And looking over Jordan, 
I see the promised land.


Sing on, O blissful music! 
With every note you raise
My heart is filled with rapture,
My soul is lost in praise;


Sing on, O blissful music! 
With every note you raise
My heart is filled with rapture, 
My soul is lost in praise. 

Sunday Scripture

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.    I John 4:9-10

Sunday Scripture

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,

 do it with thy might;"

 Ecclesiastes 9:10

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain:
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

Horatio Spafford

Sunday Sweetness

We met our baby girl in January

 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

 She was always smiley and cheerful

 from the first time we met,

 but we didn't realize she was

 saving her very best smile. 

On our third day there

 we were allowed to take

Sweet Baby back to our hotel. 

Her big sister leaned over Sweet Baby

 and sang Jesus Loves Me to her.

 At 8 months old, it was her first time

 to hear that precious song.

Sweet Baby listened intently.

 Then she smiled.

 She smiled her biggest,

 sweetest, most joyful smile.

 We all watched with tears in our eyes,

 because her little body was filled with joy

 at the sound of His name. 

Jesus. 

Jesus Loves Me

is still my Sweet Baby's very favorite song.

 Whenever we sing it she stops playing,

 looks at us, and smiles.

 And we sing it often,

 because we love to see 

the Joy of the Lord. 

Sunday Scripture

"In everything give thanks:

 for this is the will of God

 in Christ Jesus concerning you."

 I Thessalonians 5:18

Sunday Scripture

"And I say unto you,

 Ask, and it shall be given you;

 seek, and ye shall find;

 knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

 For everyone that asketh receiveth;

 and he that seeketh findeth;

 and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

Luke 11:9, 10

"God makes three requests

 of His children:

Do the best you can, where you are,

 with what you have, now."

Sunday Scripture

Ephesians 6:1-4

Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Let Every Heart Rejoice and Sing

Henry S. Washborne and Geo. J. Webb

Let every heart rejoice and sing,

Let choral anthems rise;

Ye aged men and children, bring

To God your sacrifice;

For He is good, the Lord is good,

And kind are all His ways;

With songs and honors sounding loud,

The Lord Jehovah praise;

While the rocks and the rills,

While the vales and the hills

A glorious anthem raise;

Let each prolong the grateful song,

And the God of our fathers praise,

And the God of our fathers praise.

He bids the sun to rise and set;

In heav'n His pow'r is known;

And earth subdued to Him, shall yet

Bow low before His throne;

For He is good, the Lord is good,

And kind are all His ways;

With songs and honors sounding loud,

The Lord Jehovah praise;

While the rocks and the rills,

While the vales and the hills

A glorious anthem raise;

Let each prolong the grateful song,

And the God of our fathers praise,

And the God of our fathers praise.
