Lyrics

I am trust­ing Thee, Lord, Je­sus,
Trusting on­ly Thee;
Trusting Thee for full sal­va­tion,
Great and free.

I am trust­ing Thee for par­don;
At Thy feet I bow;
For Thy grace and ten­der mer­cy,
Trusting now.

I am trust­ing Thee for cleans­ing
In the crim­son flood;
Trusting Thee to make me ho­ly
By Thy blood.

I am trust­ing Thee to guide me;
Thou alone shalt lead;
Every day and hour sup­ply­ing
All my need.

I am trust­ing Thee for pow­er,
Thine can ne­ver fail;
Words which Thou Thy­self shalt give me
Must pre­vail.

I am trust­ing Thee, Lord Je­sus;
Never let me fall;
I am trust­ing Thee for­ev­er,
And for all.
