Jesus, I Trust In You Poem by Maurice Harris

Jesus, I trust in You; In days of both jollity and lament,
I put my faith in You to be omnipresent,
Guiding me down the right path and away from danger;
I pray You see me as I do You-a friend, and not a stranger,
Because I need one right now, and can think of no one better;
I owe so much to Thee, I am Your humble debtor!
I have striven to live my life with the example You gave,
And hope that when the time comes, I am a soul You save!

I am not perfect Lord, far from it; indeed-
Just as all of Your children, I am in need
of Your Divine Benevolence and Perpetual Forgiveness,
As I strive to model myself in Your likeness;
Be patient with me Lord, I am a work in progress;
A work not done yet, but one You continue to bless!
