Jeremiah 17:7-8
7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1), make remarks about keeping the faith in times of trouble. Jesus is our help and our strength in tough times. The important thing to remember is to live each day with hope. Our hope is based on the promises of God. This is our source of encouragement...things will get better if we trust God.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2 - 3), read the scripture from Jeremiah 17: 7-8 and Psalm 9: 10-14. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1 - 3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
Only Trust Him
and the Joyful Harts Music Library
Come, every soul by sin oppressed,
there's mercy with the Lord;
and he will surely give you rest,
by trusting in his Word.
Refrain:
Only trust him, only trust him,
only trust him now.
He will save you, he will save you,
he will save you now.
For Jesus shed his precious blood
rich blessings to bestow;
plunge now into the crimson flood
that washes bright as snow. (Refrain)
Yes, Jesus is the truth the way
that leads you into rest;
believe in him without delay,
and you are fully blest.
(Refrain)
