Life lies be­fore me,
Naught in it can I con­trol,
So I give it in His keep­ing,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
So I give it in His keep­ing,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul.

Refrain

I’ll trust what­e’er be­fall,
I’ll trust Him thro’ it all.

Sorrow lies be­fore me;
Friends are pre­cious to con­sole,
But He sur­pass­es all in com­fort,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
But He sur­pass­es all in com­fort,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul.

Refrain

Darkness lies be­fore me;
I can­not see the goal,
I can on­ly hold fast trust­ing—
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
I can on­ly hold fast trust­ing—
The Lord Je­sus of my soul.

Refrain

Victory lies be­fore me!
Satan shall not have con­trol,
For He’s strong­er than the temp­ter,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
For He’s stron­ger than the temp­ter,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul.

Refrain

Joy lies be­fore me!
For His grace doth keep me whole;
And my heart shall e’er keep prais­ing,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul;
And my heart shall e’er keep prais­ing,
The Lord Je­sus of my soul.

I’ll trust what­e’er be­fall,
I’ll praise Him thro’ it all.
