’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, Thus saith the Lord.
Just to take Him at His word;

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him,
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more.
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er,
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me,
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood.

Faith in Christ is foundation for true peace and stability "Believe the Lord your God and you will gain stability (2 Chron. 20:20) the only true proof that we know who God is is that we truly put our trust in him Ps 9:10) so let's keep trusting and never throw away our confidence in him (Heb 10:35-39)
The Lord is Good, as we trust him he proves himself sure, glory to God

I can trust him because he is faithful. He's shown me many times that he is my trust

My best hymn. I love the song so much that I can sing it all day long. God bless the soul that composed it.

Just woke up this morning, it's 3am EAT, and am waking up to the lyrics of this song ringing in me.
It's a tough moment for my family struggles after losing our dear mom through murder most foul, and we cannot just take it up.
So am preparing myself to travel upcountry to meet the DCI dealing with the criminal case.
It's a tough moment but I learn to trust in Jesus more and more.

I woke up at a little past midnight with the words from this hymn replaying in my heart. I had to come find the full lyrics to meditate on it.
Truth be told, trust is something the Lord and I have been working on for the longest time— it's been mostly me trying to get away from it, as I feel I have been disappointed in the past.
I do know that God never fails us, and my prayer, for myself and anyone else finding it difficult to trust totally is this— "for grace to trust You more, Lord".

I have always loved this song from way back 2013 when I usually used it to lull my daughter to sleep. Moreover, it has always been a song I use to encourage myself when I'm down in spirit and in motivation. Glory be to Jesus Christ Lord of all.

End of year reflection, praise and prayer. I was singing a medley of worship and praise songs when I started singing this one but realised the words weren't 'Jesus Jesus how I love you... ' it suddenly hit me that the words should actually be '... how I trust you.. ' I r been singing love for so long lol so I searched and found the lyrics here.
Twas funny as the last few years I have changed the words to lots of songs as it has been difficult time. And I realised sometimes we sing things without knowing it so I became jbtentional about not singing things that were no longer true believing one day they would be. And j guess this one is a prime example. I have never stopped loving God but I did stop trusting Him. Well not fully but nowhere near as confidentially as I once did. At the beginning of this year God asked me to trust Him completely and wholly. It was not an easy ask as j felt God had let me down so much over the past several years and I kinda felt like it was His fault my trust in Him wasn't as strong as it used to be but after a few weeks I said I would put my whole trust in Him. Suffice to say a few days later one of my parents was critically ill in hospital and spent most of this year in hospital. A lot of other things have happened this year and through ach and every twist and turn I kept the faith. Things are still messy but I can confidently say that I have learned to trust him that last verse is a keeper lol I've learned to trust Him and I know He will be with me til the end!
I accidentally saw the comments and was encouraged by what people wrote so thought I would share my testimony here to I the hopes it encourages someone else.
Placing your trust in people and things is hard, but it you haventbyet or you've forgotten how - put all your trust in God no matter how good things appear or how bad things feel trust I God always!

How wonderful this is the song. It has been in my heart since the beginning of December.
