"I Know Who Holds Tomorrow"

"I Know Who Holds Tomorrow" By George Younce & Larry Ford

詩歌 ~ 我知誰掌管明天

原作者是一位美國聖樂傳道人Ira F. Stanphill所作

他的人生路途並不平坦

有一天Stanphill正駕駛著他的汽車時

他感到前路迷惘，心境困苦

就在這個時候，他的靈感忽然湧現

感覺上帝真實的存在，並與他同行

他回家後馬上在鋼琴前把曲詞譜好

這便是「我知誰掌管明天」這一首詩歌的由來。

～我知誰掌管明天～

“I Know Who Holds Tomorrow”


我不知明日將如何，每時刻安然渡過

I don't know about tomorrow,I just live from day to day.

我不求明天的陽光，因明天或轉陰暗

I don't borrow from it's sunshine,For it's skies may turn to gray.

我不為將來而憂慮，因我知主所應許

I don't worry o'er the future,For I know what Jesus said,

今天我必與主同行，祂深知前途光景

And today I'll walk beside Him,For He knows what is ahead.

副歌

許多事明天將臨到，許多事難以明瞭

Many things about tomorrow,I don't seem to understand;

但我知主掌握明天，祂必要領我向前

But I know Who holds tomorrow,And I know Who holds my hand.

第二節

我不知明日將如何，或遭遇貧苦飢餓

I don't know about tomorrow,It may bring me poverty;

那看顧麻雀的恩主，必隨我時刻看顧

But the One Who feeds the sparrow,Is the One Who stands by me.

我前程雖經歷水火，或快樂或有災禍

And the path that be my portion,May be through the flame or flood,

但我主引導我路途，祂寶血將我塗抹

But His presence goes before me,And I'm covered with His blood.
〔信就是所望之事的實底，是未見之事的確據．〕希伯來書11:1

意思是說

信心是對所盼望的事有把握，對不能看見的事能肯定

您知道什麼是未見之事呢？

那就是明天

當我們知道掌管明天的上帝,對我們所懷的心思意念

是美好和良善的時候

我們便選擇全然地交託上帝

不再為將來而憂慮，因我知主所應許
