i don't know about tomorrow

This girl, is a walking bundle of contradictions right now. Wants to be a good student- can't really be bothered; worrying- knowing it's needless/useless; good things and blessings overflowing- lacking in joy; rootedrootedrooted- feelingshaky.

Don't know what the problem is, am frustrated at not knowing, helpless at the knowledge that that's all I can do, disgusted that I can't even do the only thing I can do properly. And irritated/amused that the last sentence applies to about three or four wildly madly different situations all at once! sigh. whywhywhy?

I don't know about tomorrow; I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine, For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead.

Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

Every step is getting brighter, As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden's getting lighter, Every cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining, There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow, Where the mountains touch the sky.

I don't know about tomorrow; It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow, Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that is my portion, May be through the flame or flood;
But His presence goes before me, And I'm covered with His blood.
