1 I've tried in vain a thousand ways
my fears to quiet, my hopes to raise:
but what I need, the Bible says
is ever only Jesus.

2 He died, he lives, he reigns, he pleads,
there's love in all his works and deeds;
there's all a guilty sinner needs
forever more in Jesus.

3 For all things work together for good
with those who love and serve the Lord:
I'll trust in him for all I need
for evermore in Jesus.

4 In times like these, it can be hard
to lift the cross and follow my Lord
but he is with us day by day,
this never failing Jesus.
