I Trust in God

Because He gives me peace,
I know that He is real;
God's love will never cease--
A love which I can feel.

But God has blessed so much,
I fear I cannot tell
How oft' I've felt His touch,
Nor could I tell it well.

Each day His mercies, new,
Bring life and happiness.
The sun, the rain, the dew
Come not from fickleness.

So is the joy He brings--
A constant, steady sense
That as the new day rings
His mercies are immense.

Though I've been close to death,
His promises to me
Speak hope and give me breath
In praise eternally.

For those who trust in God
Forever they may live--
God's children stand as awed
That He should so forgive!

For all of us know how
Our lives are marred with sin;
Yet God, in mercy, now,
Will pardon, cleanse within.

His invitation wings
To every sin-sick soul--
"Do come to me!" it rings,
"And I will make you whole."
