I AM TRUSTING THEE, LORD JESUS,
Trusting only Thee!
Trusting Thee for full salvation,
Great and free.
I am trusting Thee for pardon,
At Thy feet I bow;
For Thy grace and tender mercy,
Trusting now.
I am trusting Thee for cleansing
In the crimson flood;
Trusting Thee to make me holy,
By Thy blood.
I am trusting Thee for power,
Thine can never fail;
Words which Thou Thyself shalt give me
Must prevail.
I am trusting Thee to guide me,
Thou alone shalt lead;
Every day and hour supplying
All my need.
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus;
Never let me fall;
I am trusting Thee for ever,
And for all.
