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)
