We’ll Love, Trust & Obey
This song Trust & Obey was written
after a DL Moody evangelistic and
Meeting in Brockton Massachusetts
Daniel Towner was song leader that
night in 1886 & he asked the people
to share how they had been saved.
Several spoke of how certain they
felt of their salvation. But a young
man said I’m not quite sure but
I’m going to trust & I’m going to
obey. Towner couldn’t forget that
testimony. He jotted it down & sent
it to John Sammis hoping he would
find the inspiration for a hymn.
Towner was not disappointed.
Lord, we’ll Love, Trust & Obey:
Everyone who believes that Jesus
is the Christ has become a child
of God. And everyone who loves
the Father loves His children too.
We know we love God’s children
if we love God and obey His
commandments. Loving God
means keeping His commandments;
and His commandments are
not burdensome (1 John 5:1-2).
Lord Jesus, thank You for dying on
the cross and praise You for Your
resurrection. For I am a sinner
saved by grace thro faith in You.
Give me the will to step out
in faithful obedience when You
ask me to say or do something.
Grant me courage when the task
is outside of my comfort zone.
Help me to fully trust You no
matter what I am called to do.
Grant me grace to follow Your
spirit like Queen Esther, who was
called for such a time as this. Amen.
Lord, help me to step out in faith
and not fear that which I’m called
upon to undertake. For we have
not been given the spirit of fear
but of power and of sound mind.
Keep my heart Lord open to Your
promptings, and help me grow
in faith & obedience for Your glory.
Help me Lord to Trust and Obey!
in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
When we walk with the Lord
in the light of His Word,
What a glory He shed on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust & obey…
Trust & obey for there’s no other way
To he happy in Jesus,
but to trust and obey…
Then in fellowship sweet
we will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
where He sends we will go –
Never fear, only trust and obey.
