When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way;
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

While we do His good will,

And with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey,
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear,
Not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss,
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey.

But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5
Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do;
Where He sends, we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do;

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Lovely hymn. It was taken out of the Methodist hymn book. When they brought out new singing in praise. I thought was a great shame as only hymn this man wrote.

“If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love” John 15:10 ESV
The ‘commandment’ as used in this context is ‘entolé’ (in Greek) and refers to “order, command, law, injunction, precept,” The ‘love’ is ‘agapé’ (in Greek) and refers to “love, goodwill”.
This clearly tells us that when we live by the Lords precepts (instruction/teaching), we remain in His love and goodwill (kindness). I personally believe that although the Lord loves everyone, He has some ‘special attention/kindness” for those who obey Him. Abraham trusted and obeyed God, becoming the friend of God and being blessed abundantly.
May God give us the grace to obey Him, to live by His precepts as His Spirit leads us.

This is the confidence that we have that when we ask anything in His name according to His will, God hears us. God always respond to His word. When we abide in His words and pray to Him, He answer prayers. I believe in prayers, I believe in prayers, I believe in prayers, prayers moves mountains. Praise the Lord!!! Thanks for uploading this song and God bless you all.

Pastor Bottoms would direct the congregation to sing the chorus a few years ago. We've rested, laboring in love, with this mantra... In a dream, this morning, I was singing this same chorus with another before being about the lyrics written. Thank you FATHER for YOUR example, favor, grace, love, mercy (JESUS is all and more). Body of Christ, this is our marching order.

Our family is responsible for the Sabbath programme at church and I was googling the song in preparation for the Sabbath tomorrow. What a nice song, "Trust and Obey."
