Trust In The Lord With All Your Heart

Representative Text

1 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
Your mind’s own wisdom you must reject.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will e’er your paths direct.

2 Don’t be conceited or think you are wise.
Reverence the Lord; turn away from all wrong.
This will bring health to your body and soul;
You’ll be built up and made fit and strong.

3 Honor the Lord with all your wealth,
And the firstfruits from all your fields.
Then all your barns will be filled and o’erflow;
Your vats will new wine always yield.

4 Do not despise the Lord’s discipline.
Resent it not; His rebuke never shun.
God only disciplines those He loves,
Just as a father treats his dear son.

5 Lord, I’m Your child; I will trust You alone.
I’ll look to You for Your wisdom each day.
I pledge the first part of all that I earn,
Your rod I’ll welcome whene’er I stray.
