There are some who believe the Bible,
And some who believe a part,
Some who trust with a reservation,
And some with all their heart;
But I know that its every promise
Is firm and true always,
It is tried as the precious silver,
And it means just what it says.
It tells me that God has loved me,
That He gave His Son to die;
That all who believe are forgiven,
And by Jesus’ blood brought nigh.
And I seek to know no better
Than to take Him at His Word,
For He says I may trust Him fully,—
My Saviour and my Lord.
It is strange that we trust each other,
And only doubt the Lord,
We take a mortal’s promise,
And yet distrust His Word.
But, what a light of glory
Would shine through all our days,
If we always would but remember
God means just what He says.
