Tomorrow
Don't tell me your tomorrow is as sure as your today
For surely your tomorrow may not ever come your way
As nothing has been promised past the moment that you're in
As long as you're existing on this planet filled with sin
For many in the past thought they would see another day
When suddenly their future was abruptly swept away
And all the things they'd planned for just became a mist with them
That God allowed to happen that their soul might rest in Him
Just like the ones before them since the fruit upon that tree
Of knowledge good and evil brought our parents to their knees
And cursed us as their children for decisions practiced there
That should have brought them to their knees instead in fervent prayer
And should have made them stronger to resist temptation's call
To teach their future children how they almost made them fall
From purity with Jesus Who has always been their Friend
To being one with Satan who would make their living end
But sadly it did happen that the man and woman fell
And brought on all the misery of which the scriptures tell
And life became uncertain from the cradle to the grave
Except for those who've trusted in the One Who came to save
Us from that certain outcome that on all men falls today
That death that means surrender that takes all our thoughts away
And seals us in the choices we have made about the One
Who also did surrender life to mold us in His Son
When on the cross our Saviour met the death we all must meet
But from the grave in victory did render it defeat
That can be ours and should be if we'll only meet Him there
Upon our knees together as we join with Him in prayer
That we might claim the promise of eternity with God
That gives us our direction while we live upon this sod
And also that assurance that no matter what may come
The One Who holds tomorrow is the One Who holds the sum
Of all that He has promised to the ones who trust in Him
The ones who more than anything want Him to live in them
And by that life through living trust no matter what may be
Tomorrow will be sure enough with Him eternally
James 4:7-17
