Trusting The Lord
Come, my children, listen to me and
I will teach you to love the Lord.
Do any of you want to live a life that
is good and receive Heaven's reward?

Then I write, watch your tongue!  Keep your
lips from telling lies, turn from evil and do good.
Work hard at living in peace with others as
you know, inside of you, that you should.

The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
His ears are open to their cries if they are sad.
But the Lord turns His face against those
who choose to do evil and are bad.

The Lord hears His people when they call His
name, He rescues them anytime, day or night.
The Lord is close to the broken hearted -
giving them courage for they follow His light.

The righteous face many troubles, but the Lord
takes care of them - each and every one.
The Lord protects them; every one who trusts Him
will be pardoned - the Lord's will shall be done.
