Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Yesterdays are gone away
my sights are on tomorrow.
Memories like scars remain
what used to be my sorrow.

I made my way through shadows
that gathered dark as night.
Times I spent down on my knees
I made it to the light.

So much still waiting down the road
so much I still don't know.
But I believe He's with me
no matter where I go.

I lift my eyes toward heaven
clouds drifting through the air.
Still I can see the Son shining.
I see Him standing there.

No more time for me to waste,
no longer at a loss.
The time has come I must make haste
He's no longer on the cross.

His words are true He brought me through
His love He keeps on sending.
Broken hearts of yesterday
His love keeps right on mending.

I know not what tomorrow holds
be it great joy or sorrow.
But this one thing I'm certain of.
I know Who holds Tomorrow.
