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!
