ONLY TRUST HIM

I had tasted bitter waters,

I had seen the cisterns break,

But to heal my soul’s great sadness

Christ my Lord did undertake

His great stoop from highest heaven

To the cross to bear my sin,

So that I who simply trust Him

Can know joy and peace within.

Since I put my trust in Jesus,

Life has not been all sublime,

But my Lord so kind and gentle

Firmly keeps His hand on mine;

He has led me o’er the rough ways,

vGiven me confidence to stand,

See amid this world’s contusion

Gleams of His own heavenly land.

I have drunk of living waters,

Tasted springs that never fail,

Fed on Him who does provide me

More than manna and the quail.

So my friend, just only trust Him,

You will find Him kind and true,

And prove all He’s done for others

He will surely do for you.
