oh, that's all?

You know how sometimes a song just pops into your head, and you have no idea how it got there? It's a song you haven't heard for years, and it just appears out of nowhere. That happened to me on Monday morning, and the song is still in my head. In this case, the song seems to have come from God.

The past couple weeks have been crazy. Good, then not so good. Peaceful, then sort of restless. I think I have things figured out, and then they take a totally different turn. Through it all, I know in my head that I need to trust God with the uncertainty and the possibilities. But knowing and doing are so very different things. And the brain and the heart don't always speak the same language. So until my heart gets aligned with my head (which may never happen, since I am a silly girl), I pray this song will repeat itself again and again in my head until my heart finally learns the melody.

It's a hymn that I remember singing when I was a little girl. You just don't find this kind of stuff in some of the praise and worship choruses today ... I love 'em, but sometimes I wish they had some of the solid theology that was in the good ol' hymns.

Simply trusting every day,
Trusting through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Brightly doth His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Singing if my way is clear,
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger for Him call;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting Him while life shall last,
Trusting Him till earth be past;
Till within the jasper wall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by;
Trusting Him whate’er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
