I don’t know the future,
or what for me it has in store
I don’t know if it’ll come
peacefully or with a roar.
I don’t know if it’ll hold,
thunderous clouds or blue skies
I don’t know if it’ll bring
me smiles or teary eyes.
I don’t know if it’ll arrive
to add or take from my life
I don’t know if it’ll send
more happiness or strife.
I don’t know if it’ll appear,
as a vapor or as a stream
I don’t know if it’ll produce
in me joy or a scream.
I don’t know the future
or what may lie ahead . . .
but I am certain through it
I will be Spirit lead!
~~~~~~~
Go to now, ye that say, To day
or to morrow we will go into such
a city, and continue there a year,
and buy and sell, and get gain:
Whereas ye know not what shall be
on the morrow. For what is your life?
It is even a vapour, that appeareth
for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say,
If the Lord will, we shall live,
and do this, or that.
