One Pass of acoustic with Strings based on a poem by William H Burleigh entitled Still Will we Trust written in 1868
This is Jeff Kratzman's Christian Page. I have two categories one for Secular and one for Christian songs. I've had a lifelong relationship with Christ and not to explore the spiritual side in music, would be foolish. I hope you enjoy the songs and take the time to follow-up on some of the Bible verses that inspired the songs. I welcome all feedback, but unpleasantness will just be deleted. This isn't a forum for theological debate. If you don't want to listen to Christian Music, try the Jeff Kratzman - Songs link. There's another 50 songs there.
Story behind the song
Song is based on a poem written in 1868 by William H Burleigh, I added the final verse and music.
Lyrics
1. Still will we trust, though earth seem dark and dreary,
And the heart faint beneath His chastening rod;
Though rough and steep our pathway, worn and weary,
Still will we trust in God!
2. Our eyes see dimly till by faith anointed,
And our blind choosing brings us grief and pain;
Through Him alone who hath our way appointed,
We find our peace again
Let us press on, in patient self-denial,
Accept the hardship, Not shrinking from the loss;
Our portion lies beyond the brief hour of trial,
To our crown beyond the cross
3. Choose for us, God! Nor let our weak preferring
Cheat our poor souls of good You have designed;
Choose for us, God! Your wisdom is unerring,
And we mere fools and blind.
4. So from our sky the night shall furl her shadows,
And day pour gladness through his golden gates
Our rough path lead to flower-enameled meadows,
Where joy our coming waits.
* 5. So when Im called to give an account to You God (Rom 14:12, 2 Cor 5:10)
On how Ive lived my life before the Lord
Though I might earn a crown, its not for my own wearing
And I will toss it at Your feet (Rev 4:10-11)
this is a well crafted song axe and vox lyrics voice great glad I listened today amen
