The Unknown Morrow

Just before I left for here, dear friends of mine, Mr & Mrs Coffey, gave me a slip of paper to put in my Bible with the words to an old hymn entitled "The Unknown Morrow." The words are so powerful and so meaningful,and I cling its promises every day. It has been such a tremendous encouragement to me as I've read, reread and memorized it...sometimes in tears, sometimes out of joy! So now I thought I'd share it with you- a special promise for tomorrow!

Child of my love, fear not the unknown morrow,
Dread not the new demand life makes of thee;
Thy lack of knowledge holds no cause for sorrow
Since what thou knowest not is known of Me.

Thou canst not see today the hidden meaning
Of my command, but thou the light shall gain;
Walk on in faith, upon My promise leaning,
And as thou goest, all shall be made plain.

One step thou seest -- then go forward boldly,
One step is far enough for faith to see;
Take that, and thy next duty shall be told thee,
For STEP BY STEP thy Lord is leading thee.

Stand not in fear thy adversaries counting,
Dare every peril, save to disobey;
Thou shalt march on, all obstacles surmounting,
for I the Strong, WILL OPEN UP THE WAY.

Wherefore go gladly to the task assigned thee,
Having my promise, needing nothing more
Than just to know, wher'er the future find thee,
In all thy journeying I go BEFORE.


-Thank you Mr & Mrs Coffey! :)
