'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

When I was a little girl, I had many fears. I really have no idea why I was worried so much or was so fearful. I remember that there was a very comforting song that I would sing when I was alone:

Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
And to take him at his word;
Just to rest upon his promise,
And to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

Refrain: (chorus)
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!

I'm so glad I learned to trust thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, friend;
And I know that thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.back to
(Refrain)

I used to personalize the words...such as "just to take You at Your word"...rest upon "Your" promise...how I trust "You"...proved "You"...learned to trust "You"..."I know that You are with me will be with me to the end"...claiming it as my own and personalizing Jesus as he truly is a personal friend we can place our trust and confidence in. My mom taught me that Jesus is always with us and that anytime we call on His name He was there for us. Knowing that there was power in the name of Jesus, this song became my childhood "theme" song.

As an adult, there are so many different things that we face. There are world problems and stresses, Family stresses, Personal stresses...endless difficulties and struggles. We know that Jesus is and always will be a faithful Friend. So, rest upon the promise that Jesus is our best friend and assurance through anything that we may face in life. Take the little chorus to heart...claim it as you claim your trust in Jesus...sing it in the early morning...or any time throughout the day.
