So many strive this world to gain, Some treasures great to have in hand; But friends these worldly things are vain, God holds the future in His hand. Chorus: I want to trust in Jesus' love, And ever for His glory stand; Till I am safe with Him above, God holds the future in His hand. I care not for earth's silver, gold, They will not in the judgement stand; What profit is it to the soul? God holds the future in His hand. (Chorus) Godliness with content is gain, For all who follow His command Are passing to a higher plain, God holds the future in His hand. (Chorus)
