'Tis so sweet...


I tend to sing the second verse to this song around the house a lot:

'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.

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.


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!

Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend;
And I know that thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

I love old hymns.  They can really minister to my heart. So can Todd Agnew's songs.  And I just discovered Bethel...:)  

I really love when I'm reading the Bible and I recognize the verses from contemporary Christian music because nothing is more powerful than the Word of God.  Music can help us memorize it and get it where it needs to be...hidden in our hearts, etched in our soul forever.
