I Know Who Holds Tomorrow (TUHAN YANG PEGANG)

One of my favorite Gospel songs describes my thoughts about the future:

*tiap kali ngerasa kuatir, takut, gagal, selalu ingat lirik di lagu ini*

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow (TUHAN YANG PEGANG)

words and music by: by Ira F. Stanphill

I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day; 

I don't borrow from it's sunshine, For it's skies may turn to gray. 

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 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.

Ev'ry step is getting brighter, As the golden stairs I climb;

Ev'ry burden's getting lighter, Ev'ry 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.

Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand; 

But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand.

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 be my portion may be through the flame or blood.

But His presence goes before me and I'm covered with His blood.

Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand; 

But I know who holds tomorrow, and I know who holds my hand.

Tak kuta’u ‘kan hari esok, namun langkahku tegap

Bukan surya kuharapkan, kar’na surya kan lenyap.

O tiada ‘ku gelisah akan masa menjelang.

‘Ku berjalan serta Yesus, maka hatiku tenang

Banyak hal tak kumengerti dalam masa menjelang

Tapi t’rang bagiku ini, tangan Tuhan yang pegang.

Makin t’rang lah perjalanan, makin tinggi aku naik.

Dan bebanku makin ringan, makin tampaklah yang baik.

Disanalah t’rang abadi tiada tangis dan keluh.

Di neg’ri seb’rang pelangi, kita k’lak ‘kan bertemu.

Banyak hal tak kumengerti dalam masa menjelang

Tapi t’rang bagiku ini, tangan Tuhan yang pegang.

Tak kuta’u ‘kan hari esok, mungkin langit ‘kan gelap.

Tapi Dia yang berkasihan, melindungiku tetap.

Meski susah perjalanan g’lombang dunia menderu.

Dipimpin-Nya kubertahan sampai akhir langkahku.

Banyak hal tak kumengerti dalam masa menjelang

Tapi t’rang bagiku ini, tangan Tuhan yang pegang.
