Gospel Hymns Hymnbook, and let's
all stand together. Number 24, the tune is Crown
Hymn with Many Crowns. Jehovah Sidkenu, the Lord our
righteousness. We love to call you by that name,
our Savior Christ Jesus. Jehovah Sidkenu, the God-man
live for us, bringing eternal righteousness which God imputes
to us. Jehovah Sidkenu, our substitute
who died. Your blood has put away our sin,
and we are justified. Jehovah Sidkenu, Your love has
won our praise. Trusting your blood and righteousness,
we're saved by your free grace. Jehovah Sidkenu, we stand in
you alone. Our only fitness before God is
in our Lord, His Son. Jehovah Sidkenu, ? The Lord our
righteousness ? Christ Jesus you alone we call ? The Lord
our righteousness Please be seated. Good evening. If you're not able
to hear, ask Adam what I'm saying, he'll tell you. No, no, that's all right. No,
no. I'm just, I'm giving you a hard time, man. Don't worry
about it. If we can bring it in after the
service and try to get it to work before Sunday, that might
be good. Okay. All right. Let's open our Bibles
together to Acts chapter 17. Acts chapter 17. If anybody's
available tomorrow to plant bushes. We hope to finish the landscaping
tomorrow morning. We're going to get started around
930. So bring a shovel and some gloves and should be able to
should be able to finish it up pretty quick if we can get some
help. Acts chapter 17, Paul is preaching
the gospel in Athens and he says in verse 24, God that made the
world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven
and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Neither is worshipped
with men's hands as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth
to all life and breath and all things, and hath made of one
blood all nations of men to dwell on the face of the earth and
have determined the time beforehand before appointed and the bounds
of their habitation." He's already set how long they live and where
they live and everything about their lives. Verse 27, that they
should seek the Lord if happily they might feel after him and
find him, though he be not far from every one of us. For in
him, we live and move and have our being. If happily, they may
seek after the Lord. That's what the Lord's telling
us here in this passage of scriptures. Our whole purpose for existence
is to seek God. That's our reason for being here.
We have no other purpose. And if we don't seek him and
we die without him, we would be better off never having been
born. May God give us the grace to
seek him tonight. Let's pray together. Our Heavenly
Father, thank you that you have given
us such a clear word as to what our purpose here is in this world. Lord, we listen to the world
and watch the world and we seek them, we see them just seeking
after so many things of vanity. And we find ourselves, Father,
being drawn away from that which is life eternal. We know that
in the Lord Jesus Christ we live, and we move, and we have our
being. We ask that tonight you would
send your spirit and cause us, Father, to seek after Christ. Pray that you would reveal him
to our hearts and cause us, Lord, to find our rest and all our
hope in him. For it's in his name we pray,
amen. Let's stand together again. We'll
sing hymn number 352, Jesus Lover of My Soul. Let's all stand together. Jesus, lover of my soul, let
me to thy bosom fly. While the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till
the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide, O
receive my soul at last. Other refuge have I none, hangs
my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring, Cover my defenseless head With
the shadow of Thy wing. Thou, O Christ, art all I want,
more than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I
am all unrighteousness. False and full of sin I am, Thou
art full of truth and grace. Plenteous grace with Thee is
found, Grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams
abound, Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life, the fountain art,
freely let me take of Thee. Spring Thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Please be seated. Let's open our Bibles together
to Psalm 119. Thank you all for remembering
Jennifer in your prayers. The last 48 hours, she's been
making some progress. And we're very thankful. So she
continues on this path. She won't have to have any more
procedures done. this week. So we're very hopeful
and very thankful, thankful the Lord and thankful for you. I've
titled this message. The Lord is my portion. The Lord is my portion. We live
in a world that's always trying to get a bigger piece of the
pie. And the child of God in faith says, give me the peace
that nobody else wants. The stone that's been rejected
by the builders, the one that God has made to be the head of
the corner. I want Christ. Christ is my portion. If I have Christ, I have everything. If I don't have Christ, I have
nothing. Nothing. Regardless of what the
world sees as being success and progress without Christ, it is
vanity. It's emptiness. And the child
of God knows that. They see that. They see it in
their own hearts as they're drawn away after these things of vanity,
and they're reminded once and once again, which I hope the
Lord will do for us tonight, that he'll remind us again that
all is vanity and that Christ is all. Look at our text beginning in
verse 57. Thou art my portion. Now in another place, David says,
the Lord is my portion. Thou art my portion. We know
that our life is but a vapor. It appears for a little while
and then it vanishes away. And we find ourselves so oftentimes
being deceived and enticed by the things of this world, trying
to find some comforts and happiness is outside of Christ. And it's
just not to be there. The Lord reminds us time and
time again, that he is our life. He is our portion. Turn to me, if you will, to first
Timothy chapter six, first Timothy chapter six. Jeremiah said in Lamentations
chapter three, the Lord is my portion, saith my soul. Therefore I will seek after him. The Lord is my portion. The Lord reminds us in first
Timothy chapter six, not to pursue the things of this world for
those are the things that the world finds as their portion,
their, their part in life. Look at verse five in 1 Timothy
chapter six. Perverse disputings of men of
corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain
is godliness. They suppose that if they have
more, that means God's blessed them. That gain is the evidence
of God's blessings on their lives. The evidence of God's blessings
on our life is that the Lord has become our portion. And the
evidence of his blessing is the strengthening of our faith, causing
us to, to see more and more of how he is our portion. But this is what the world does.
They, they, uh, the destitute of the truth. They suppose that
gain is godliness, and we know that that applies to the religious
world as well. The religious world would say,
well, I'm not pursuing material wealth, I'm pursuing after God.
And then they pretend to to get advantage over their peers in
religion by elevating themselves in a position of sanctification
that would intimidate those who are lesser blessed. And so they
presume that Their gain is the evidence of their godliness and
they compete with one another and they promote themselves as
being more righteous and more sanctified as another. They are destitute of the truth. Why? Because Christ is our portion. He's our portion in righteousness.
He's our portion in sanctification. He's our portion in life. In
everything, Christ Jesus the Lord is our portion. But those who are destitute of
the truth suppose that gain is godliness. From such, withdraw
yourself. Look at verse six. But godliness
with contentment is great gain. Now what is the mystery of godliness?
God was manifested in the flesh. That's the mystery of godliness.
If we have Christ, we have godliness. And the scripture's telling us
that having Christ and being content with Christ is great
gain. Great gain. That's why David's
saying, the Lord, he is my portion. Let, let the world pursue the
vanities of this world. The Lord Jesus Christ is our
portion. Look at verse seven, for we brought
nothing into the world and it is certain that we can carry
nothing out. That's so clear, isn't it? That's
so simple. We came into this world naked, you know, with no teeth, wearing
diapers and riding in a wheel in a, in a, uh, in a stroller,
and we're gonna go out basically the same way. And we're gonna
leave everything behind. For we brought nothing into this
world, it is certain, it is certain that we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment, let us be there with content. Let us be content with the things
that the Lord gives us. But they that will be rich, they
that pursue the wealth of this world fall into temptation and
a snare and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown
men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money, the love
of money, the craving for money, the need for money to find your
portion in this world. is the root of all evil, which
while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man
of God, but thou flee these things and follow after righteousness
and godliness and faith and love and patience and meekness and
fight the good fight. It is a fight. We live in a world
that they don't see Christ as their portion. They have a whole
different view of what their purpose in this world is. Is
to get all you can, can all you get, sit on the can, and just,
you know, just accumulate more of this world and then leave
it all behind. And what does David tell, what's
God telling us in Psalm 119, verse 57? The Lord is our portion. The Lord is our portion. Turn with me to Psalm 140, two,
Psalm 142. Why is it necessary for us to
be reminded of this? Oh, you know the answer to that
question, don't you? Because the deceitfulness of
riches is all around us and we are drawn away after the lust
of our hearts. And we do try to find our comfort
and our meaning and our purpose and our our, our portion in the
things of this world. And the Lord is just reminding
us of what the truth is. Look at, uh, look at Psalm 142
at verse four, incline, not my heart to any evil thing. I'm sorry. Psalm 142 verse four,
I looked on my right hand and beheld, but there was no man
that would know me. Refuge failed me, no man cared
for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord, I
said, thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the
living. Now we see again that these Psalms
first and foremost apply to the Lord Jesus Christ. I look to
the right, I look to the left. In faith, we know that the Lord
Jesus Christ is our portion. We know that this world is vain
and empty and the things of this world are going to be left behind
and that we must have Christ and Christ is our life. He's our life in salvation. He's
our life in justification. He's our life in righteousness.
He's our life in sanctification. He's our life in glorification.
He's our life physically as well. Everything necessary for spiritual
life and physical life is found in Christ. And yet, do we find
ourselves making the Lord our portion all the time as we ought? No more than we find ourselves
having the faith that we ought to have. No more than we find
ourselves being as sincere as we ought to be in the grace of
repentance. No more than we find ourselves
sorrowing after our sin as we ought. That's why we have Christ. You see, when David said, the
Lord is my portion, he's speaking for the people of God. We know
that Christ is our portion. But he's also speaking prophetically.
He's speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ saying that God the Father
is everything to me all the time. Do we love the Lord as we ought?
Do we serve him as we ought? Do we love him? Yes, we do love
him. Are God's people delighted to
serve him as he gives them opportunity? Yes, yes. Can we hold up our service, our
faith, our repentance, our sorrow, our love, or our commitment to
making the Lord our portion as the hope of our salvation? No.
but the Lord Jesus Christ did. We have an advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous one. And when David said, the
Lord is my portion, he is speaking more about the Lord Jesus Christ. You remember in Matthew chapter
eight, when that scribe came to the Lord and said, Lord, I'll
follow you whithersoever thou goest. And what'd the Lord say? What'd the Lord say? He said,
foxes have holes and birds have nests, but the son of man has
no place to lay his head. We can't say that. We've all
got comfortable beds and nice homes and we work hard for the
things of this world, for the comforts of this world. And yet
in faith, we're able to say the Lord is my portion. But can I
make the Lord my portion like the Lord Jesus Christ made the
father his portion? No, that's what God requires. He requires perfection, and the
Lord Jesus Christ satisfied the requirements of the father. The
Lord Jesus Christ was only concerned with his father's will all the
time. He was completely committed to
it. He was consumed with it. His relationship with his father
was his life all the time, all the time. The first recorded
words we have of the Lord Jesus in, in the scriptures is when
his mother's and father found him back in, in Jerusalem and,
and rebuked him for being gone for three days. And what did
he say? Woman, did you not know that I must be about my father's
business? What was the father's business?
To save his people. And so his last recorded words
when he hung his head on Calvary's cross was, it is finished. Everything
the Father gave me to do. The Father has been my portion
all through my life. Every step of the way, every
waking moment, every thought. God the Father has been my portion.
And then after that he said, Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit. He knew that he had made his
Father his portion all the time. What is your hope and my hope?
We can say God is my portion, but I've got a piece of the pie
in the world too. And I've got a little bit going
on over here that I find comfort in and hope in. Yes, Christ is
my portion, but I can't say that foxes have holes and birds have
nests, but I don't have any place to lay my head. But the Lord
Jesus Christ did. And so Christ is my portion. Christ is my, in him, I live
and move and have my being. In him, I rest my hope of salvation,
knowing that he pleased the Father perfectly, with perfect faith,
trusting the Father all the time as his only portion. That's what the Lord meant in
John chapter four, when the disciples came back with lunch, and the
Lord had been speaking to that woman at the well, And they tried
to get him to eat. And what did he say? What did
he say? I have me to eat that you know
not of. He wasn't hungry. Why? Because he had just been fulfilling
everything that the father sent him to do. He was so full. of his relationship and pleasure
with the Father that he didn't need. The Lord never needed entertainment. You and I do. He never needed
a vacation. We do. He never needed a change
of scenery. He never needed a different meal
to eat in order to be comfortable. We get bored, don't we? We say in faith, the Lord is
my portion, and what we mean is that Christ, in making the
Father his portion all the time, he's my portion. He's my portion. Looking unto Jesus, the author
and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set
before him, endured the cross, despising its shame. That's what
the Lord did, he pleased his Father. The Lord is my portion. The agony of the cross was not
the physical pain of crucifixion. What the Lord prayed in the Garden
of Gethsemane when he asked the Father to let this cup pass from
him, that was the agony of the cross. When he cried out and
the sky was blackened for three hours during the day, from noon
to three o'clock, Black as dark. I mean, it was just... What? What was God doing? He was breaking
fellowship with His Son. That was the agony of the cross.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? We can go three
hours without making the Lord our portion and not be bothered
by it at all. We can go three days without
making the Lord our portion. We get caught up in the things
of this world for a period of time and and, you know, and not
be bothered by it. The Lord Jesus Christ, when he
lost the father as his portion, when he bore the sins of his
people and suffered the wrath of his father. That was when. He he lost he lost this fellowship,
he he he couldn't. He couldn't experience the joy
of the father being his portion. I want to show you something
in Deuteronomy chapter 32, Deuteronomy chapter 32, because though the
father and his fellowship with the father and his faithfulness
to the father was his only portion. It was all he had. I mean, it
was everything to him, everything. Look at Deuteronomy 32 and look
with me at verse nine. The Lord's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. The Lord Jesus Christ was faithful
to the father and the father was his whole portion. that he
might win to himself, satisfy the demands of his father in
putting away the sins and fulfilling the law for his people. For his bride is his portion. He did it out of glory and honor
for his father, and he did it for the reward of his people. Zechariah chapter two, verse
12 says the Lord shall inherit Judah as his portion. The Lord Jesus Christ inherited
Judah as the lion of the tribe of Judah. The Lord Jesus Christ
got all the, all the tribe of Judah. That's, that's God's elect.
That's his church. And that became his portion. Turn with me to Deuteronomy chapter 10. Deuteronomy
chapter 10. Now Jacob had 12 sons and they all
went down to Egypt and Joseph provided for them. And 400 years
later, the descendants of those 12 sons of Jacob made up 12 different
tribes. And one of those tribes was the
tribe of Levi. Moses and Aaron were of the tribe
of Levi. Levi being the second son of
Leah. Remember when Jacob went to Laban's
house and Laban deceived him? He went to, he wanted to marry
Rachel, but Jacob, Laban deceived him and he got Leah. And the
scripture says that he loved Rachel and he hated Leah. He
had no affection for her. But she gave him six of those
sons. Six of those tribes came from
Leah. And the second one was Levi. And, uh, and she named,
uh, Levi, um, bound in that she was hopeful that the birth of
Levi would bind Jacob's heart to her, but it didn't. But Levi, just like Judah is
a type of Christ. Because the Lord Jesus Christ
made the father his portion, and he was bound to his father.
And he was not dependent upon anything in this world for his
satisfaction or for his happiness outside of his fellowship with
his father. And like Levi, like Levi, he
received none of the property that was divided up. When Moses
led the children of Israel through the wilderness and Joshua, the
type of Christ who brought them into the promised land, divided
up the land, the tribe of Levi didn't get any of the land. Look
at Deuteronomy chapter 10. At that time, the Lord separated
the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.
Now, what's the Ark of the Covenant? That's the gospel. That's the
mercy seat, that's the Shittim wood that represents the humanity
of Christ and the overlay of gold which represents his deity
and the Aaron's rod that budded and the Ten Commandments and
the Ophir of Manna, the Lord Jesus Christ being the prophet,
priest, and king that was in the box, and the seat was put,
the blood was put on the mercy seat, and God said, here I will
meet with you. So the tribe of Levi was the
priestly tribe. We talk about the Levitical priesthood
or the Levitical law. That was the law that applied
to the tribe of Levi. The time when Levi was was censored. There was a census taken in Israel,
and the scripture says that the tribe of Levi was 220,000 strong,
but they had no land. They had no property. Their responsibility
was to carry the Ark of the Covenant. Look at, look at what the Lord
says at that time, the Lord separated the tribe of Levi and that word
separated means to be sanctified. And that's what he's done with
his people who have been made to be a kingdom of priest. God's people are a kingdom of
priest. Our portion is not in this world. Our portion is Christ. Let the rest of the tribes settle
down and make their living in their means and their happiness
and satisfaction in the things of this world. We live in this
world. Scripture says we're not of this
world. We've been separated. Look, at that time, the Lord
separated the tribe of Levi to bear the Ark of the Covenant
of the Lord, to stand before the Lord, to minister unto him.
And here we have the Lord Jesus Christ. Who's the head of the
tribe of Levi when they're coming out of Egypt? Aaron was. Who was the high priest? Aaron was the high priest. And
we have an eternal Aaron in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our
high priest. And he's bearing the Ark of the
Covenant. It was the Ark of the Covenant
that had to go before the children of Israel before they could cross
the Jordan and enter into the promised land. And to bless in his name unto
this day. Unto this day. Wherefore Levi
hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren. The Lord is
his inheritance according as the Lord thy God promised him. Now you see that word part in
verse 9, therefore Levi hath no part, it's the same word from
our text, portion. The Lord is my portion. What's
the Lord saying? You know, let the world fight
over the pieces of the pie in this world. The Lord is your
portion. He's your portion. And Christ,
as our Aaron, made the father his portion. And he's reminding
us here that this world's not our home. The Lord has not given
us any inheritance in this world. Our inheritance is eternal. Our
inheritance is in Christ. Look at Numbers chapter 18. Verse 20, and the Lord spake
unto Aaron, thou shall have no inheritance in this land. Now again, the Lord Jesus Christ,
the only one that fulfilled this perfectly. And that's why we
look in faith to him, having made the father his portion.
And in faith, we say, Christ is my portion, and this world
is not my home. I'm looking for a land whose
builder and maker, a city, you remember Abraham's called the
father of the faithful? And he looked for a city whose
builder and maker was God, which hath foundations. This world
doesn't have any foundations. There's no foundations to it.
That's why the world, that's why the people of this world
are so hopeless. They're so desperate. There's no foundation. It's not
built of God, it's built of man. The Lord said unto Aaron, thou
shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou
have any parts among them. I am thy portion. I am thy part and thine inheritance
among the children of Israel. And behold, I have given the
children of Levi all the time, all the 10th in Israel for an
inheritance for their service, which they serve, even the service
of the tabernacle of the congregation. In other words, the other tribes
were to tithe for the support of the tribe of Levi. And because
Levi didn't have any land, they couldn't grow crops, they couldn't
provide for themselves, and they were dependent upon the rest
of Israel to provide for them. What a picture, what a picture. Turn with me to Deuteronomy.
I wanna show you another passage of scripture. chapter 33. This is glorious. Deuteronomy
chapter 33. You've heard of Urim and Thummim. If you read the commentaries,
they will tell you that they were two stones that Aaron had
on his breastplate. probably one black and one white,
and they were probably the stones that Aaron cast in order to determine
the will of God when it came to a decision that had to be
made. But that's the best they can do. All the types and shadows
of the Old Testament are to be understood through the lens of
the gospel. The Urim and the Thumen were
two stones. Whether they were black and white,
I don't know. Whether Aaron cast them in order to discern God's
will, yes or no, as, you know, like dice or lots, I don't know. But I know what these two stones
mean. They mean light, that's Urim, and perfection, that's
Thumen. So when Aaron went in to make
the sacrifice, the blood sacrifice, as an atonement for the sins
of the people, Christ was going in there not only as a type of
Aaron, or as the anti-type of Aaron, but he also went in with
these two stones, because unless the light shines in the darkness,
the darkness has no way of comprehending the truth of the gospel. And
unless perfection is established, God's not going to be satisfied.
And so those two stones we know represent the Lord Jesus Christ,
who himself is the light of the world and who himself is perfection
before God in faith, in making the father his full portion all
the time. in righteousness, in sanctification,
in love, in service, the Lord Jesus Christ is our fulmin. He's our perfection before God. Now look at this passage of Scripture
in Deuteronomy chapter 33 at verse 8. And of Levi he said,
let thy Thumen and thy Urim be with thy Holy One. Now who's,
who's the Holy One? That's Christ. He's the Holy
One of Israel. And so the Lord's saying to,
to, to the tribe of Levi, take these two stones and put them
on errand because they typify the Lord Jesus Christ. Whom thou
didst prove at Mesa. Now you remember when the children
of Israel were out of water and they began to threaten Moses
with his life and they blamed God for taking them out in the
wilderness and letting them die out there and And Moses went
before the Lord and Moses said, Lord, what do I do? And the Lord said, stand on that
rock and smite that rock with the rod that you divided the
Red Sea with and water will come out of that rock and what they
need will be provided. But Mesa translated means temptation. They were tempted to doubt God,
to question God. And they were in need of the
Holy One, Aaron, to go before the Lord with light and perfection
in order to intercede on their behalf. That's what the two stones represent. Whatever else men want to imagine,
you know, let them imagine it. But that's what they represent
Christ. He's the fulfillment. Look, look what he. So the Lord
said to Levi, let the Thuman and the Urim be with thy holy
one whom thou didst prove at Mesa or temptation and with whom
thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah. Meribah means strife. And if you go back to the story
of Meribah, it just happened to be in the desert of sin. in the desert of sin. Now that's
where you and I live. We live in the desert of sin.
And the fact that we can't make God our portion as we ought,
the fact that we complain as we do, the fact that we're not
satisfied and content as we should be, we're in need of the Holy
One of Israel to go before our Heavenly Father and to be able
to say before God, I've made God my portion. And to intercede
on our behalf with light and with perfection. These Old Testament
types, they all point to Christ. Look what he says. In verse, they strove at the waters
of Meribah in the desert of sin, they strove with God. And Aaron
went in with the light of the gospel. You see, all of these types serve
to illuminate the substance, the person, and the work of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Our high priest, our almighty
Aaron, as he goes into the holies of holies, intercedes on behalf
of his people, puts his blood on the mercy seat. And God says
to us, here, I will meet with you. Here, I will meet with you. The Lord Jesus Christ is life
and light. He's the fullness of the Godhead
bodily. He is the perfection of his person
and the brightness of his glory and the express image of his
person. Go back with me to our text and
In Psalm 119, verse 57, thou art my portion. Oh, child of God, be reminded
that the Lord is our portion. There's going to come a day very
soon, very soon when nothing in this world is going to matter. The only thing that's gonna matter
is that we'd be found in Christ. Like Caleb said the other Wednesday
night, was that last Wednesday night? It was last Wednesday
night, wasn't it? We don't fear hell. We fear not being found
in Christ. And the fact that we're so caught
up in the things of this world and that we, oh, what a blessing
it is. We've got one. We've got an eternal,
perfect Aaron. We've got a Urim and a Thumim
who is light and perfection before God. And look what he says. Thou art my portion, O Lord,
I have said that I will keep by words. I am treated by favor. You see that word favor is the
word face. It's the word face. I've been
treated the face of God. When thou said is seek my face,
my heart said unto thee, thy face, Lord, will I seek, seek
the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore. The Lord Jesus
Christ, the only one ever kept God's Word perfectly. But you
know what? We keep God's Word when we look
in faith to Christ as our portion before God. We have no other
portion. Let's pray. Our Heavenly Father, Bless your
word to the faith of your people and to the glory of Christ. Forgive
us of our sin. Enable us to rest our hope in
that perfect son for it's in his name we pray.
Amen. Number 2 62. Let's stand together. Simply trusting every day, trusting
through a stormy way, even when my faith is small, trusting Jesus,
that is all. Trusting as the moments fly,
trusting as the days go by, trusting Him whate'er befall, trusting
Jesus that is all. Brightly doth his spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine While he leads, I cannot fall
Trusting Jesus, that is all Trusting as the moments fly Trusting as
the days go by Trusting him, whate'er befall Trusting Jesus,
that is all. Singing if my way is clear, Praying
if the path be drear, If in danger for Him call, Trusting Jesus
that is all. Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by, Trusting Him whate'er befall, Trust in
Jesus, that is all. ? Trusting Him while life shall
last ? Trusting Him till earth be past ? Till within the Jasper
wall ? Trusting Jesus that is all ? Trusting as the moments
fly ? Trusting as the days go by ? Trusting Him whate'er befall
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
