I do not know

I do not know what this hour will bring

Will I groan a dirge or lift my heart to sing?

Will my spirit rise as a truth I hear?

Or the dark descend as I face my fear 

I do not know what this day will be

Will the clouds pull back and the light I see?

Will the air turn chill and the rain fall down?

Or the sky be blue with a sunshine crown

I do not know how I will face this week

Will I be at rest or the peace I seek

Will I get wound up or need to be wound down

Will my face light up or will reveal a frown?

I do not know how this year will fare

Will the months roll by and tears be there?

Will a change take place and my gaze to rise?

Or will hope now fade as it slows and dies

Can I be certain of anyone or thing?

As I seek to follow the eternal King 

His promises firm and all his word are true

I may not know but will still pursue 

Christ this minute, Christ this day

Christ this hour, come what may

Christ this moment, Christ every year

I will trust in him as I know him near
