I care not today what the morrow may bring,
If shadows or sunshine or rain.
The Lord I know ruleth o'er everything,
And all of my worry is vain.
Living by faith (yes, living by faith),
In Jesus above (in Jesus above),
Trusting confiding in His great love (yes, in His great love);
From all harm safe (safe from all harm safe)
In His sheltering arm (His sheltering arm),
I'm living by faith (I'm living by faith)
and feel no alarm (feel no alarm).
Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise,
Obscuring the brightness of life,
I'm never alarmed at the overcast skies,
The Master looks on at the strife.
Refrain
I know that He safely will carry me through, No matter what evils betide,
Why should I then care,
Though the tempest may blow,
If Jesus walks close to my side.
Refrain
Our Lord will return to this earth some sweet day,
Our troubles will then all be o'er,
The master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
Refrain
Go back
