Florence Peters - Trusting Him

Sometimes you seem a thousand miles away
Yet you are closer than our feelings may convey,
Your promise never to leave nor forsake
Is a solid rock beneath our feet always

Either we believe and trust your word as true
or we perish in the sea of our dismay
Our faith has to take us beyond the shores afar
for here we experience your unending grace

In turbulent waters we learn to trust and believe
the one whose love upholds us in the waves
He will never let us drown that we know for sure
this deep assurance within our souls is secure

Unto the unknown, He takes us step by step
though unsure we follow as soldiers brave
here the victory is our great reward
as we rest in his warm embrace

My helper, my shield, my hiding place you are
I live in your presence, there is no other way
I desire nothing else, but you, only you
in you I find my resting place as always

My peace, my joy, my strength you only are
without you I am nothing, my life is just a breath
So I hold on to my saviour in life and in death
for we are bound together forever, no regret.
