trust alright

How bless'ed are the ones who'll trust all right:

not works of Yahweh only (though they're good),

nor gifts, and children, of "Father of lights";

their confidence is placed right where it should

be placed: in him alone, the God of gods.

The one who trusts like this is like a tree 

that's planted by the water where God trod,

so finds its roots in Eden, strong and free.

It does not fear when heat comes; for  its roots

are where they are, its leaves of various greens.

It finds that it is always bearing fruit,

sometimes when drought is all around it seems...

Be on your guard, stand firm within your faith- 

as this tree's firmly rooted where it is,

within its ground of being - that's Yahweh -

the earth that is beneath, the garden his!

Be mighty, and be full of good fruit too,

courageous - let your love and kindness be 

the motivating force in all you do,

a cheerful heart that's med-i-cine, and free.

Not spirit crushed, which dries up all  the bones.

"But if you live your life rooted in me..",

you'll find my life bears witness - and  atones,

"..my words will live in your hearts. You'll be free.

And you can ask whatever you would like

and it will truely come to you, you'll see.

My Father's glory shown in his small tyke,

a tiny model of his love to be."

So Jesus said. His Father's  glorified—

(in his disciples being their own selves)

"..in your becoming fruitful (not aside

from) being my disciples" -  doing well!

Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him alone. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”  Jeremiah 17:7-8 (PM Version)

Be on your guard, stand firm in your faith- in God.  Be mighty and full of courage- let love and kindness be the motivation behind all that you do!! 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (PM Version)

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.  Proverbs 17:22 (PM Version)

But if you live your life in me, and my words live in your hearts, you can ask for whatever you like and it will come true for you. This is how my Father will be glorified—in your becoming fruitful and being my disciples!! John 15:7-8 (PM Version)
