I Trust You, Lord
I trust You, Lord, with all my heart
For You are good and true;
Your thoughts are kind, Your will endures,
And I can count on You.
I trust You, Lord, with all I am –
There’s nothing I must hide;
You know me well and love me still,
And You are on my side.
I trust you, Lord, with all I have –
I give it all to You;
Please show me how You want it used
And tell me what to do.
I trust You, Lord, with all I want
For You are good and kind;
I place my future in Your hands
And seek to know Your mind.
I trust you, Lord, with all my life –
My strength and love are Yours;
Increase my faith, direct my steps,
And open blessing’s doors.

Swift to Hear, Slow to Speak
“Be quick to hear and slow to speak.”
For every mouth God gave two ears.
The wise must learn to hold his tongue
While godly words he stops and hears.
My mouth is God’s, He made my tongue,
So all my words should show His grace.
His kindness shows me how to speak,
And truth must have an honored place.
No sharp replies or gossip fit;
A Christian’s lips must never lie.
My thoughts control the things I say
So I must watch my heart’s reply.
Lord, set a guard before my mouth
And help me keep my tongue, I pray,
So others know how good You are
When they have heard the things I say.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:” James 1:19
“Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” Psalm 141:3
Correct, Counsel, Comfort
Dear Holy Spirit, use Your Word
To guide and guard my way
So I remember what I’ve heard
And live it day by day.
Correct my thoughts and plans, I pray,
To seek what’s good and true;
Reveal my sin so when I stray
I might return to You.
Please counsel me to know the way
That I should choose, O Lord,
That I might please You every day
And gain faith’s true reward.
Bring comfort sweet and dry my tears,
Lord, help me trust Your love,
That I might see past pain and fears
To heaven’s home above.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26
You’re leading step by step, dear Lord,
I caught a glimpse today
Of how You’ve worked things out so far
And guided all the way.
With joy and thanks I here renew
My pledge of faith to You;
I’ll trust Your plan and take each step
Because You’ll bring me through.
Oh, thank You for the way You’ve shown
Your skillful, loving care;
With joyful heart I’ll take each step
Your wisdom will prepare.

Full Surrender
Lord, teach me full surrender
That gives myself to You
And trusts Your Word completely
In all I think and do.
For when I have surrendered
I won’t let hope or fear
Prevent me from obeying
What Scripture has made clear.
I’ll gladly seek to know You
And daily read Your Word
To know the things that please You
And what will bring reward.
It means I won’t hold grudges –
Since You’ve forgiven me
I’ll pardon those who wrong me
To keep my spirit free.
My words will be like Jesus,
Not sharp, unkind, or wrong,
But true and kind and helpful
Because You make me strong.
I’ll share the precious gospel
With people that I meet
So they can know the Savior
And find His love is sweet.
I’ll praise You for Your goodness
And talk to You in prayer
With confidence You hear me
Because You truly care.
Your love and Your compassion
Will guide the things I do.
Lord, I am Yours forever –
Please help me live for You.

That Spot He’s Made for Me
I still don’t know what place for me
The Lord has made above
Or what He wants to do through me
In tender grace and love
But this I know – He has a plan
A place for me to fill
And He’s preparing me today
According to His will
So I will yield with eager heart
To all that He ordains
Because I trust His plan for me
Though rarely He explains
For by His grace I want to be
Just what He hoped and planned
To fill the spot He’s made for me
In heaven’s happy land
