Representative Text

1 I am fully trusting Jesus,
Even when the sky is dark;
When the rays of light are hidden,
Then his love is in my heart.

Refrain:
Trust in His name,
He is the same,
Now and forever,
He’s always the same.

2 I am fully trusting Jesus,
For his promise I have tried;
He’s my Paraclete and guardian;
Ever walking by my side. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ he may not lead me always
Into paths where I would go;
Yet I’ll trust his love and wisdom,
Follow on, his will to know. [Refrain]
