If you but let the Father guide you,
Relying on His faithfulness,
He will be evermore beside you
In all your sorrow and distress.
He on whom God Most High depends
Builds not his house on shifting sands.
Will anxious care or bitter sighing
At any time give true relief?
And what avails us our decrying
Each morning's evil, trouble, grief?
We only add to grief and stress
By discontent and bitterness.
Be still! What God in His good pleasure
To you in wisdom may impart
Is given you in perfect measure;
Thus be content within your heart.
To Him who chose us for His own
Our needs and wants are surely known.
With song and prayer, in faith progressing,
In all you do God's will obey.
Expect from Him alone your blessing:
He will renew it every day,
For God will never those disown
Who put their trust in Him alone.
Rach, I was thinking of posting this exact song to my blog as well. I love the line "To Him who chose us for His own, our needs and wants are surely known" and "God will never those disown who put their trust in Him alone." Why do we waste so much time and effort on "anxious care or bitter sighing" when we can "be still" and rest on God alone?
