Some Day

Charles Albert Tindley (1905) • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:7

Verse 1

Beams of Heaven as I go Thru' this wilderness below. Guide my feet in peaceful ways, Turn my midnights into days; When in darkness I would grope, Faith always sees a star of hope. And soon from all life's grief and danger, I shall be free some day.

Chorus

I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me: I shall get home some day.

Verse 2

Oftentimes my sky is clear, Joy abounds without a tear, Tho' a day so bright begun, Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun. There'll be a day that's always bright, A day that never yields to night, And in its light the streets of glory I shall behold someday.

Chorus

I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me: I shall get home some day.

Verse 3

Harder yet may be the fight, Right may often yield to might, Wickedness awhile may reign, Satan's cause may seem to gain, There is a God that rules above, With hand of pow'r and heart of love; If I am right, He'll fight my battle, I shall have peace some day.

Chorus

I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me: I shall get home some day.

Verse 4

Burdens now may crush me down, Disappointments all around, Troubles speak in mournful sigh, Sorrow through a tear-stain'd eye. There is a world where pleasure reigns, No mourning soul shall roam its plains, And to that land of peace and glory I want to go some day.

Chorus

I do not know how long 'twill be, Nor what the future holds for me, But this I know, if Jesus leads me: I shall get home some day.
