Hymntime:
Trust and Obey
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Refrain
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
Refrain
But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
Refrain
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
Refrain

Read Aloud Poem
Guided
He is with me while I walk.
I pray to my Lord; yes, we talk.
Throughout the moments of each day,
He writes on my heart and shows me the way.
In His hand, He cares for me.
From my sins, He made me free.
Shaping me new with different sight,
And placed on His path lit with His light.
Jesus Christ is all I need.
Daily, from His Book I read.
Each page holds my Savior’s face,
that speaks of His mercy, love and grace.
Lord of Glory is my guide
In His love, I’ll always abide.
In His spirit, I gather with others
Giving praise with my sisters and brothers.
