It was updated, but not to the point that it was overwhelmed by the music. And I loved it! I also found that he has an entire album of hymns that are just beautiful with their accompaniment. Way to go Jadon (you\u2019ll understand as you keep reading)!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yes, music that is catchy is good, but when the lyrics to a hymn (or any song) touch a heart, that\u2019s when a song is at its best.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I believe these are questions we can ask ourselves as we sing this hymn. Do I believe God\u2019s Word? Do I believe His promises? Do I love to trust Jesus instead of myself? Have you accepted Jesus\u2019 life and rest and joy and peace? Do you know that Jesus is with you? Do you trust Jesus?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t answer these questions with a \u201cyes,\u201d what is stopping you from trusting Jesus completely?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Today as you begin your day, why not take a moment to give Jesus just a little more of your heart in this area? Little by little, we give more and more of ourselves to Jesus, and as time passes, we realize that we\u2019ve done it. We\u2019ve learned to trust Jesus completely. Maybe that\u2019s what you need to do today.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the lyrics below and then click on the link to listen to this hymn.
