But This I Know

Listen from:
“I will go in the strength of the Lord God; I will make mention of Thy righteousness, even of Thine only” (Psa. 71:1616I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. (Psalm 71:16)).
I do not know what changes lie ahead,
What joy or sorrow,
What disappointment or what glad surprise
May come tomorrow.
But this I know—though smooth the road or rough,
As each day dawns His grace will be enough.
So in His strength in faith I venture forth
In the New Year;
If on the water He should bid me walk,
I will not fear;
Convinced am I that in the sun and shade,
He will be with me—I am not afraid.
