The Kingdom of Praise ‎#94

94. He'll Take Care of Me

1 When clouds, dark and heavy, hang over my way,
When shadows, before me, my soul would dismay,
I’ll follow my Saviour, tho’ I cannot see,
My trust is in Jesus, He’ll take care of me.

Refrain:
I’ll follow my Saviour,
Where’er it may be;
My trust is in Jesus,
He’ll take care of me.

2 When often before me is sorrow and care,
And burdens too great for my spirit to bear,
I roll them on Him who can give liberty,
My trust is in Jesus, He’ll take care of me. [Refrain]

3 When friends of the sunshine grow cold in the shade,
I’ll still have one Friend, so I’ll not be afraid;
He’ll ever be near me tho’ others may flee,
My trust is in Jesus, He’ll take care of me. [Refrain]

4 Soon life and its sorrows with me will be past,
But I’ll follow Jesus, by faith, till the last;
Then still I’ll keep shouting o’er death’s rolling sea,
My trust is in Jesus, He’ll take care of me. [Refrain]
