[Joh 12:35] 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.Refrain
O the peace my Savior gives,
Peace I never knew before!
And my way has brighter grown
Since I learned to trust Him more.But He called me closer to Him,
Bade my doubts and fears all cease,
And, when I had fully yielded,
Filled my soul with perfect peace.Refrain
Now I’m trusting every moment,
Nothing less can be enough;
And my Savior bears me gently
O’er the places once so rough.Refrain
Blessèd Savior, Thou dost keep me
By Thy power from day to day,
And my heart is full of gladness,
For Thou’lt keep me all the way.Refrain

Beside her desert spring.Yes, keep me calm, though loud and rude

Who hate Thy holy Name;Calm as the ray of sun or star
Which storms assail in vain;
Moving unruffled through earth’s war,
