'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus


I so love this old hymn. It has been rattling around in my poor old head ever since Amy Levine sang it. The words are incredibly poignant.'
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him;
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more.
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing cleansing flood.
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life, and rest, and joy, and peace.
I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

Lol I woke up very early this morning to take Leon to work & this same song was playing in my head throughout the WHOLE day. I could also here Sister Levine singing it :)
