Trusting

Trusting
Dr. James E. Martin

I am what I am
By the grace of God.
The paths I must walk
He has already trod.

Though I cannot see
What lies ahead,
There is nothing there 
That I should dread.

When anxiety consumes me
I hear Him lovingly say,
"I will never leave you,
Not now, nor any day."

So help me Lord
To focus my trust.
To depend on You
Is simply a must.
