Trust in the Lord believe, O my soul

1.
Trust in the Lord; believe, O my soul.
Let Jesus guide you; He will make you whole.
Be not downcast; to His Word hold fast.
He will stand beside you, faithful to the last.
He will transform you, mold you each day.
Follow, for He is the new, living Way.
2.
Jesus is good and faithful and true.
Gently He’ll guide your steps aright for you.
He knoweth best what brings peace and rest;
Trust in Him completely in each trial and test.
While tribulations, suff’rings endure,
You’ll learn that He is a fortress secure.
3.
Jesus is Truth, and He is the Way;
Live by this light and you will never stray.
Lay your life down; you’ll in Him be found.
Die with Him and in eternal life abound.
Of your possessions, all that you gain,
Only your treasures above will remain.
