Oh How Sweet to Trust in Jesus....

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take him at his word;
Just to rest upon his promise;
Just to know, thus saith the Lord.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust him!
How I've proved him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust him more.

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust his cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend;
And I know that thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.


Jesus, today I heard this song for the second time within a week. Just wanted to tell you that I do. Sometimes my desires and dreams take my focus off of you. I forget you put them in my heart and your love for me exceeds any passion I have. Forgive me for wanting to plan and scheme and write my own story. Remind me every day of the times my trust has proved you in the past and also remind me that your promises are never-failing. I give you my desire for a house and my dream of having a family. Thank you for my wonderful husband and our little apartment and our dog. Help me to enjoy them, to own them, to revel in them because they are blessings from your hand. He is more than I dreamed or ever deserve. Help me to respect him and treat him like what he is, a gift from you. Help me to take care of our apartment as if we owned it because it is your provision. We love you, I love you. I trust you. Just wanted to tell you.
