Lyrics

Only trust­ing in the Lord,
And the pro­mise of His word;
Every mo­ment seems so sweet,
While I’m rest­ing at His feet.

Refrain

Only trust­ing in the Lord,
And the pro­mise of His word;
Every mo­ment seems so sweet,
While I’m rest­ing at His feet.

Only trust­ing in His name,
Every pro­mise seems so plain;
I will trust Him while I can,
For He leads me by the hand.

Refrain

Only trust­ing all the time,
Heaven sure­ly will be mine;
Only trust­ing by the way,
All will be as bright as day.

Refrain

Only trust­ing to the end,
Jesus then will be my friend;
Only trust­ing, all is love,
I have found my home above.
