'Tis So Sweet

‘Tis So Sweet

I’ve heard the words, and my own voice would sing

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.

But my heart and my mind were not fully convinced

Of that wondrous truth that echoes around

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.

All the time I would worry, fretting and full of fear

What I could not control, could not understand

Things that could be, what my strength could not bear

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.

No peace I found, though I desperately sought

Tried to read, tried to pray for God to somehow remove

The feeling of unease that seemed content to stay

How can I fully trust when so much is at stake?

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.

And then I started to hear the voice

The voice so still and so small that it seemed to be hidden

Muffled by the cacophonous disquiet of my mind

Trust Me it said simply, over and over

And in time I began to slowly surrender

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.

I give You my life, I relinquish control

You, the Author, Creator hold the pen for my story

Every twist, turn, and stumble exists for a purpose

All the joys and the pains shape me to who I should become

There is no need to worry because it is all in Your hands

My life is Yours; I live for Your ultimate Glory

‘tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.
