CHORAL WORSHIP Sanctuary Choir “Trust in the Lord” - Donna Butler

Jesus. He is the thought beyond all thoughts, The gift, the answer to our prayers.

When we seek Him, we will find a strength beyond compare. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Oh, trust in the Lord.

Serve Him with a willing mind and with a heart of pure devotion. Toss your doubt and fears aside, and let Him guide your way.

Though there be dark and uncharted space with worlds beyond our sight, Still may we trust His love and grace and wait to see His light. Trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus,

But to trust and obey. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding,

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Oh, trust in the Lord. Oh, trust Him, trust in the Lord.
