I Know Who Holds Tomorrow [Rounder] lyrics

(Loretta Lynn)

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Isaac
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't wanna die
He cried, oh Lord, please let me live, death is close I know
God smiled down on Isaac and gave him fifteen years to go.

Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

(Tommy Smith)

I believe my steps are growing wearier each day
Still I've got a journey on my mind
Lures of this old world have ceased to make me wanna stay
And my one regret is leaving you behind.

If it proves to be his will that I am first to go
And somehow I'll be feeling it will be
When it comes your times to travel like wise don't feel lost
For I will be the first one that you'll see.

(Ira P. Stanphill)

I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
I don't borrow from the sunshine
For the skies they turn to grey.

And I don't worry for the future
For I know what Jesus said
And today I'll walk beside him
For he's what lies ahead.

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

(Rhea F. Miller - George B. Shea)

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be his than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by his nail scared hands.

Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal.

I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I'd need
'Til life was torn from me.

I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be

When he cometh when he cometh to take up his jewels
All his jewels precious jewels his loved and his own
Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning
They will shine in their beauty bright jems for his crown.

He will gather he will gather the jems for his kingdom
All the pure ones all the bright ones his loved and his own.
Like the stars of the morning his bright crown adorning

(Paul Simon)

When I was a little boy, when I was just a boy
And the devil would call my name, when I was just a boy
I say now who do, who do you think your fooling?
When I was just a boy.

I'm a consecrated boy, when I was just a boy and a singer
In a sunday choir, oh, my mama loves me, she loves me,
She gets down on her knees and hug me
Oh, she loves me like a rock.

When the world is caught on fire,
I wanna be caught in your will
I never will give up, no, no,
No, I never will, no, no.

When the world is caught on fire,
I wanna be caught in your will.
I never will give up, no, no
No, I never will; no, no, no, no, no.

Ill always remember, yeah, yeah,
Yes, Ill always will, yeah, yeah
When they crucified my lord,
Up on Calvarys hill.

(Dottie Rambo)

The things that I love and hold dear to my heart
Are just borrowed they're not mine at all
Jesus only let me use them to brighten my life
So remind me, remind me dear Lord.

Chorus:
Roll back the curtain of memory now and then
Show me where you brought me from and where I could have been
Just remember I'm a human and human's forget
So remind me, remind me dear Lord

I got shoes, you got shoes
All of God's children got shoes
My Lord
And when we get to Heaven
Gonna put on our shoes
We gonna walk
We gonna talk
All over God's Heaven
Heaven.

I got a robe, you got a robe
All of God's children got a robe
My Lord
And when we get to Heaven
Gonna put on our robes
We gonna shout
We gonna shout
All over God's Heaven
Heaven.

Heaven, Heaven
Everybody talkin bout Heaven

(Mosie Lister)

Once I stood in the night with my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as the sea
And my heart was afraid and I cried,
Oh Lord, don't hide your face from me.

Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
From here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no one stands alone.

Like a king, I may live in a palace so tall

I am thinking today of that beautiful land
I shall reach when the sun goeth down
When through wonderful grace by my Saviour I stand
Will there be any stars in my crown.

Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown
When at evening the sun goeth down
When I wake with the blest in those mansions of rest
Will there be any stars in my crown.
