Getting to Know God (#23)

When we started out, I never did dream
That I would radically find out that, in the Christian life, we’re a team;
You commanding, me obeying, and knowing You deeper as we go;
Through the trials and tough temptations, with You, my faith gradually grows.
That’s what it’s about-trusting in You, and finding out how great life can be-
When I trust in the eternal God, it’s so much better than trusting me.
You are the One-everything and more than I could ever want or dream;
All I need do is trust You with my life, and give You control, and I will draw closer to Heaven’s gleam.
You are more than anything, the great I Am, the great Provider and Friend;
You comfort me in my greatest grief, every time when my whole life seems to rend.
You are the Lord and Master of my life; no other being will I serve.
For You alone have love everlasting, and only You my soul can preserve.
