Today’s featured song: Trust In The Lord, by Dion Dimucci, from the 1983 album, I Put Away My Idols.

The 4th track on Tape JM-31 follows up immediately with the previous Dion song with another, also from the same album (I guess I liked Dion’s songs!)  Like the previous song, Dion has taken scripture and put it to music, this time focussed on Proverbs 3:5-6, with some Hebrews 11:1 thrown in for good measure. A great way to put Bible verses to music to make them easier to remember!

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways
He will make your path straight

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways
He will make your path straight
He will make your path straight, yes He will

Jonah got along in the belly of the whale
Daniel in the lion’s den
I know a man who lived on faith ’till the very end
Well, now the Good Book says that without faith
It is impossible to please God
Because anyone who comes to Him must believe

So you trust in the Lord with all of your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways
He will make your path straight
He will make your path straight, yes He will

Against all hope, Father Abraham
In hope he did believe
God calls things that are not as though they were
Oh, now, if God said it, I believe it
And that’s good enough for me
We who walk by faith and not by what we see

You see we trust in the Lord with all of our hearts
Lean not on our own understanding
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways
He will make your paths straight, yes He will
He will make your paths straight

Faith is being sure of what we hope for
And it is certain of what we do not see
Faith it surely comes by hearing
The word of God, you see
God, you see, yeah

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart
L ean not on your own understanding
Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways
He will make your paths straight
He will make your paths straight
