Once I thought I walked with Jesus

Once I thought I walked with Jesus

Yet such changeful feelings had;

Sometimes trusting

sometimes doubting

Sometimes joyful

sometimes sad.

Oh

the peace the Savior gives!

Peace I never knew before;

And my way has brighter grown

Since I’ve learned to trust Him more.

But He call’d me closer to Him

Bade my doubting

fearing

cease;

And when I had fully yielded

Filled my soul with perfect peace.

Now I’m trusting every moment

Nothing less can be enough;

And the Savior bears me gently

O’er those places once so rough.

Day by day my soul He’s keeping

By His wondrous power within;

And my heart is full of singing

To my Savior from all sin.
