Tomorrow, I don’t know you;
I’m only familiar with today.
The problem with tomorrow is,
From my vantage point, it’s a chasm away.
Before I reach tomorrow,
Unknowns will proudly abound.
So clinging to the One who knows all
Is the glorious solace I have found.
The chasm between now and then
That threatens my sanity
Is obliterated by the One
Who defines eternity.
Oh, can’t you see it, friend,
Although I don’t know how,
My Savior calls to me from tomorrow,
Even as His arms embrace me now?
No gap for Him stands between
What is and what will be.
He is always eons ahead
Of what the keenest eye can see.
When I walk the road with Him beside,
Nothing shall surprise and be my undoing.
For Jesus always knew
The place my path was going.
And when I fear I shall be swallowed
By an ominous gap ahead,
Jesus reminds me that He bled and died
To remove my fear and dread.
That gap between now and then
Into which I think I’ll tumble
Is spanned by the very Cross of Jesus,
A bridge to tomorrow for the helpless and humble.
And not only tomorrow
Can Jesus safely transport us to,
But He will even span the gap
When the end of earthly life’s in view.
He is already in tomorrow,
Building a smooth bridge for me to travel from today.
He is already in eternity,
Ready to clasp my hand when I fly away.
He stands ready
In the next moment I shall endure.
No gap will I be lost in,
For He is my Bridge, my Way for sure!
