Trusting in God Alone
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
For God alone, O my soul,
Wait in silence, for my hope;
For I need Him to console,
While living here to cope.
He’s my rock and salvation,
My fortress and not shaken;
I am His new creation,
Knowing never forsaken.
My glory and mighty rock,
My refuge on God I rest;
For salvation that I walk,
In my life since He has blest.
I trust in Him all the time,
While pouring out my heart;
Forgiveness of any crime,
With confession to impart.
