Trusting to Enjoy Life

Isaiah 12:1-5

Give praise to the Lord knowing His anger,
To stop His wrath not to be made stronger;
For God is my salvation a faith in the Lord,
Without any fear since my life is restored;
The Lord Jehovah is my strength and song,
Being my salvation keeps me going strong;
In joy you will get water out of the spring,
Praising the Lord of the honor for to bring,
Give Word of His doings onto the peoples,
Say His name is lifted up above the angels;
Make song to the Lord in deeds so noble,
Spread the news throughout to be humble.
God is our salvation and never to be afraid,
Put your trust into Him not to be dismayed;
Doubt clouds the minds, hearts and souls,
While your faith comforts as He consoles;
Trusting in the Lord strives for to endure,
The adversities that causes life to detour;
Break through the cloudy doubt of despair,
For warmth of the sun with God in prayer.
