Love for Music: "Trust and Obey"

1. Hymn: Trust and Obey
2. 
   
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Growing up in my grandparents church, I learned hymns very different from the music I listen to today. This was one of my favorites. I can still remember the hymn number, #32. I felt it a very appropriate song for trust being such a strong word for me right now. 

There is such a combination in this song of relieving of our stresses, of doing His work, of being in community. It is just a simple song that reminds us to trust and obey the Lord.
