Sweet Simplicity

We sang this song at the mom's group I attend at church yesterday morning. The entire morning was so very refreshing and challenging, exactly what this tired heart needed. And this song, even though it is old with simple lyrics, just speaks to where I am right now. Sometimes the simplest of things can be the sweetest. : )

'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know "Thus saith the Lord!"

O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Will be with me to the end.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
