Do You Understand?

My Word Is True

When I said: “Fear not, I am with you always”
Did you think that I meant only some days???

When I said: “I will work everything out for your good”
I thought the word everything would be understood.

I said: “Be anxious for nothing, pray and then stand.”
Just what part of nothing can you not understand?

I said: “Cast all cares on me, I care more that you can.”
Just what part of all can you not understand?

When I say: “Enter into My rest for I have a good plan.”
Can you not enter because you can not understand?

When I said: “I love you, you are safe in My hand.”
Can you believe, when you can’t understand?

I said: “Be still” If you can trust me when you don’t understand
Then you will sing come whatever, and then you will dance.
