Poem: I Trust in You, Jesus

I Trust in You, Jesus

 

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.” (Psalm 56:3)

 

 

When I am afraid,

I will trust in You,

Sweet Lord Jesus,

I promise to.

 

On whom else can I call?

To whom else can I cling

Who else to me

Gives everything?

 

Who else will wipe

The tears from my eyes?

Who else will dry

The rain in the skies?

 

Yes, when I am afraid,

I will trust in Your name,

For with You, my Lord,

Nothing is the same.

 

The gray days grow

Luminously bright,

The sunshine glows

Through dark of night,

 

The joyful songs spring

From depths of sorrows,

Mournful yesterdays

Become blissful tomorrows,

 

Endless valleys

Become tops of the mount,

The parched desert

Becomes the flowing fount…

 

So here and now

When the tears do fall,

Your Name, Sweet Jesus,

I do call.

 

Surely You wipe

The tears from my eyes,

Your kisses fall

As rain from the skies,

 

And to Your hand

I joyfully cling,

As surely to me

You give everything…

 

Yes, when I am afraid,

I know what to do:

Sweet Lord Jesus,

I will trust in You!
