Song Lyrics
Trust In God
[Verse] Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. He’s been my fourth man in the fire, time after time. Born of His Spirit. Washed in His blood. And what He did for me on Calvary, is more than enough.
[Chorus] I trust in God, my Saviour, the One who will never fail. He will never fail.
[Verse] Perfect submission. All is at rest. I know the author of tomorrow, has ordered my steps. So this is my story, and this is my song. I’m praising my risen King and Saviour, all the day long.
[Bridge] I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered. That’s why I trust Him. That’s why I trust Him.
Oceans
[Verse] You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in the mystery. In oceans deep my faith will stand.
[Chorus] And I will call upon Your name. And keep my eyes above the waves, When oceans rise. My soul will rest in Your embrace. For I am Yours and You are mine.
[Verse] Your grace abounds in deepest waters. Your sov'reign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me. You’ve never failed and You won't start now.
[Bridge] Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters. Wherever You would call me. Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander. And my faith will be made stronger. In the presence of my Saviour.
Strong Enough? Stand in Faith
John 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My [Jesus] purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.
Ephesians 6:10-11 Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.
Ephesians 6:16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
What is Faith?
Question: How would you describe faith in Jesus to a friend or co-worker?
1. Openness & Receptivity
Mark 10:14-15 For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 15 I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”
2. Trust, Believe, Faith
John 14:1 Trust [believe, have faith] in God, and trust also in me [Jesus].
3. Results (internal & external)
James 1:26-27 If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. 27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
James 2:14-16 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
