Words by Stephen J Curtis
Sung to the tune of “Nearer, My God, to Thee”
[Verse 1]
A E A D A E
Your plans did not work out; you tried your best;
A E A D A E7 A
But I was bringing you through a great test.
D A
If work brings only care,
D A E7
Your soul is in des - pair,
A E A D A E7 A
Just lean on Me in pray’r; Only trust in Me.
[Verse 2]
A E A D A E
Does life seem emp - ty now: vain and a waste?
A E A D A E7 A
Plans and am - bitions gone: all done in haste.
D A
Did you consider Me,
D A E7
Just in your hour of need?
A E A D A E7 A
Will you please let Me lead? Only trust in Me.
[Verse 3]
A E A D A E
I know your heart aches now: doubt rules your life.
A E A D A E7 A
Trust Me to do My work: Cease from your strife.
D A
I’ll car - ry all the strain;
D A E7
Just give Me all your pain,
A E A D A E7 A
Let all My grace sustain. Only trust in Me.
[Verse 4]
A E A D A E
Loved ones and friends alike: those close to you;
A E A D A E7 A
Just can – not see the way I’ve brought you through.
D A
I’ll be your trusted Friend.
D A E7
On this you can de - pend.
A E A D A E7 A
I’ll love you to the end. Only trust in Me.
[Verse 5]
A E A D A E
Fin’ - ly, my son, Obey – This is the price
A E A D A E7 A
I love it better than any sa – cri - fice.
D A
Then you can sing your song
D A E7
With Me all the day long,
A E A D A E7 A
And I will make you strong. Only trust in Me.
