On Wednesday morning, we sang the old classic song 'Trust and Obey' in our chapel. The last time I sang this song was probably some 20 years ago when I regularly attended youth services in my high school - but amazingly God through this song has been doing a lot of comfort and encouragement to me and my family here and now (especially these last few days). Please read the words attentively, and let God speaks to our heart.
To accompanny this song, my Bible reading this morning straight forwardly proclaims the core of Christian discipleship: 'Whoever claims to live in Jesus must walk as Jesus did' (1 Jn 1.6).
'Trust and Obey'
(John H. Sammis & Daniel B. Towner)
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.
But we never can prove the delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet.
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
