Analysis of IN JESUS, I CAN TRUST



Each and every day
There's one thing I can count on,
Jesus will be here!

I give thanks to the Lord
Who helps us all of our lives,
In every possible way.

The Lord does help me
He does help me through the day;
Without ever failing me.

I'm never alone
While Jesus walks beside me,
Jesus walks by me!

When all it seems lost
I do not despair because,
My Lord has been found!

In Jesus, I can trust
To always look after me,
To always be near.

Jesus, my saviour
Who died and was then reborn,
Yes, Jesus, my Lord!

Jesus he died for me
He died on the cross; then
He was reborn for me!

How can I get lost?
With Jesus to lead me, and
Jesus to guide me!

Jesus is so good
He leads me and he guides me,
Through all life's travails.

Christ was born this time
Two thousand years past yet,
His word of love is not lost.

When life seems empty
Just one thing keeps me going,
The love of the Lord!

I cannot get lost
I cannot get lonely,
With God at my side.

THE END
