Complete Confidence

Oh Lord, our Father, how uncertain we would ever be

Without the confidence we have by simply trusting Thee

We do not need the answers (much, at times, to our dismay)

But only Lord, to learn to trust thee each step of the way

How often we are torn between the laws of faith and sight

Where what is seen is but the surface of Mercy’s delight

So Lord, we pray that You would let our confidence increase

Lest with fear or impatience we prejudge Your Master peace/piece

How prone we are to groaning from a wilderness of doubt

While Canaan flows with milk and honey, we complain and pout

Forgetting that the Keeper of His Word waits to fulfill

The Plenty of love’s promises according to His will

 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt 

into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--

a land flowing with milk and honey.'

Exodus 3:17
