VERSE 1:
If you will let the Father guide you,
And hope in Him through all your ways,
Whatever comes, He stands beside you,
bearing you through the evil days;
Who trusts in God’s unchanging love
Builds on the Rock that cannot move.
VERSE 2:
Settle your heart and wait His leading
Cheerful in hope, with heart content
taking whatever His good pleasure
And His discerning love have sent;
Confident all your prayers are known
To Him Who chose you for His own.
VERSE 3:
Sing as your feet pursue His pathway,
labor to keep your conscience true;
Trust in His promises of blessing,
So shall they be fulfilled in you;
God hears the call of those in need,
Children who trust in Him indeed.
If you will let the Father guide you,
And hope in Him through all your ways,
Whatever comes, He stands beside you,
bearing you through the evil days;
Who trusts in God’s unchanging love
Builds on the Rock that cannot move.
VERSE 2:
Settle your heart and wait His leading
Cheerful in hope, with heart content
taking whatever His good pleasure
And His discerning love have sent;
Confident all your prayers are known
To Him Who chose you for His own.
VERSE 3:
Sing as your feet pursue His pathway,
labor to keep your conscience true;
Trust in His promises of blessing,
So shall they be fulfilled in you;
God hears the call of those in need,
Children who trust in Him indeed.
