Lyrics

He tells me to trust and not fear,
He bids me each promise believe;
His presence and glo­ry seem near,
I open my heart to receive;
I am ransomed, I know,
For His Word tells me so,
So I trust, trust, trust!
I am ransomed, I know,
For His Word tells me so,
So I trust, trust, trust!

My need He is pledged to supply,
I trust for each breath that I breathe;
And since I take life at His hands,
Why not all He wishes to give?
Lord, I yield ev­er­more,
For Thy promise is sure,
While I trust, trust, trust!
Lord, I yield ev­er­more,
For Thy promise is sure,
While I trust, trust, trust!

He offers me pardon and peace,
He offers me cleansing from sin;
The fountain once opened I see,
Dear Je­sus, I dare to plunge in.
Now I know I am free,
For Thy blood cleanseth me,
While I trust, trust, trust!
Now I know I am free,
For Thy blood cleanseth me,
While I trust, trust, trust!

Praise God, it is done—I am His!
The blood covers body and soul;
I am pardoned and cleansed, I am healed;
All glo­ry I’m every whit whole!
Praise His name, I believe,
And this moment receive,
While I trust, trust, trust!
Praise His name, I believe,
And this moment receive,
While I trust, trust, trust!
