TRUST AND OBEY hymn - story behind the hymn

[@stanelder3523]

My older brother died of dementia. But while he was struggling with it, and didn’t know who we were, or even who his children were. But when you play these hymns, he knew the words. He still knew his LORD.

[@maricls26]

I love this song so much, especially the sweet fellowship. Though my life hasn't gone the way I'd hoped it would, I'm so thankful for the sweet fwllowship I have with Jesus!! 💙💙

[@jennyschauer834]

This song is fairly new to me but I ❤ love it is a beautiful hymn and although I didn't grow up hearing classic hymns but music from charismatic pentecostal songs but I love that the songs are biblically sound so I am so grateful to have found them.

[@vickieader7569]

Beautiful song! My daughter used to sing it , as a child. Please pray for her , as she has drifted as an adult, from trust in Jesus. Her name is Virginia. I love her so much. THANK YOU! ❤

[@olivierfonte2999]

Same for my nephew who grew up in a Christian school and went to Sunday school until teens. He is now 35 years old and turned away from God. Pray for Virginia and I surely know how you feel. In God's time...... learn to Trust and Obey...

[@izangaware4721]

I pray for VIRGINIA that the LORD will bring her back to the paths of Trust and Obey. May the LORD cause her to hear and hearken to His Word.

[@doloresadams8240]

Trusting God to bring Virginia and all of us back to Him. He is worthy to be Praised. Let us just trust and obey Him. Amenn

[@davedennis6042]

My mother loved this hymn. I believe she lived it too. She went home March 24, 1999. No last words. The LORD just took her. But she taught us how to pray and I still practice at home a lot.

Thank you so for these wonderful memories of childhood hymns sung in church with my parents, now gone to glory. I recall that in her later years my mother had a home in south Florida where on Tuesday evenings the residents gathered to sing hymns. They had a name for this special evening but I can no longer remember it. I just remembered the name, “Singsperation.” I made light of that in conversations with Mom until that day that I was with her and attended a Singsperation evening. Inside of the first ten minutes God had opened my heart to the praise and worship of our Creator and our Savior. I looked back often with fond memories of 69+ minutes of singing these old hymns in worship of the Almighty. After that first episode, I always wanted to return, but it was as if God gave me a taste and repaid me for my derision of this wonderful tradition. Mom passed away before I could ever go again. So now, I wait until that day when my faith becomes sight and I can again sing these wonderful songs with my mother.

[@cecilanderson6454]

This is a beautiful hymn that really says it all.

[@pamjobeckfaulkner4681]

When I was rebelling against God this song drove me crazy. The song would be in my brain often. Finally I realized that trusting and obeying is the ONLY way. Thank you God for NEVER leaving us!

[@premelectrix]

Same story here

[@doloresadams8240]

God is so Faithful. Praise Him

[@JuneMartin-f1y]

The LORD woke me this morning with this song. My sweet dad took me to church and the old hymns were sung. I memorized the words to several hymns and throughout life’s trials His sweet Holy Spirit has used them to strengthen me. Thank you for sharing.

[@nicolapicola4502]

This was beautifully done, thank you from New Zealand. They sung this song when I got baptised in 1986.

[@carolmitchell5826]

Yes I do love that song....and have grown to know it is absolutely essential in the Christian life.

[@sarahdunn1192]

So good! Thank you for sharing. One of my favorites that I sing to my daughters at night. It’s amazing how much the Lord blesses faith and obedience to His word!! All glory to Him! ❤

[@BonnieKetterman-qw8vd]

What a beautiful.story.love that hymn

[@dsrtrats9]

Sammis went to New York in 1904 or 1905 and visited some of his relatives and while at my Grandma Louis Talbot home who was 5 years old - led her to the Lord.This would have profound affect on future generations. Praise the Lord

[@LukePowellMinistries]

Wow!

[@danieluchegbu206]

Thank you Jesus for your love for me

[@olivierfonte2999]

We sang this song when we were in our teens in the 1960's......

[@gloriaverster3341]

I still sing this song often. It's a comfort when things get tough.

[@SandraCaldwell-f5m]

The first time the op😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@evertonmcleod5447]

Amen

[@Angela-qs4cz]

This is a song of faith. Things will happen but we won’t be overwhelmed as He is with us.

[@AndalusianIrish]

We sang it a lot in Ballymena Baptist Church in Northern Ireland. Sometimes we would sing the chorus when people were being baptised.

[@barbaramuller7024]

I loved this hymn as a child but learnt in adulthood that it is really hard when the tough times come. But it is also the only Way.

[@lizhorn1310]

Amen! Without obedients to God there are no joy and happiness

[@JenniferOBannanViolist]

I was thrilled to find your channel with all that you are doing with hymns! I am a classically trained musician (violist), and during the last few years when the pace of life changed due to the pandemic, I started to casually record hymns that I loved from my childhood and my family heritage. I have really felt recently that this focus is more important than I had realized because there is a great need to bring back the richness of the words and music that reveal the work that God did in the hearts of known and unknown believers throughout the last few generations. You have done a wonderful job of studying the history and learning the ones that were not familiar to you. God bless you!!

[@dasterley]

True words. Just imagine what the world would be if the world lived in Jesus, as the song says.❤

[@RachelKlasseNiekerk]

This is one of my favorite songs that i used to sing to my two sons when they were small busy drying them after their bath

[@doloresadams8240]

Thanks for sharing this with us. The world needs Him. All we have to do is just to Trust and Obey Him. Hallelujah 🙌

[@vivianshepard7108]

❤ thank you, i love how you are sharing Christ.

[@cindyavalos6200]

I learned this song in my Christian middle school which used the Abeka Homeschool curriculum. That school is where I really got to know the Lord, my first absolute love and this song was definitely one of my favorites. It is one that when I feel like I’m straying or falling into lukewarm territory or when i feel fear I sing because it reminds me that it’s quite simple just trust and obey. He is always in control and I can’t think of anyone better that I’d like to be in control of my life. Thank you Jesus Almighty King of Kings. Til we meet in Heaven Father, I will simply trust and obey the One who Is and Was and Is to come. Also, God bless you for this channel I absolutely love it!

[@SantaFe19484]

I grew up in a contemporary worship church, and I was occasionally exposed to traditional songs. When I first heard this one, I immediately thought of a song that goes "somewhere in outer space, God has prepared a place for those who trust him and obey."

[@pamjobeckfaulkner4681]

I fought with this song for years! Then I finally relinquished my rebellion and trusted God and wanted to obey Him because it was the best way.

[@mollymuch2808]

I really needed to hear this this morning 🙏

[@edithofmo3171]

I can remember my mama singing this to me occasionally. Thank you keeping these meaningful hymns alive. Your talent and style so well express their wonderful words.

[@steps2spiritualsolutions]

Yes, I love this song because our Christian journey on the narrow Path requires faith, trust, and obedience. Our diligent study of the Bible, much prayer, and total trust in God especially when we are in times of waiting on God's timing is of the utmost importance in our relationship with Christ.

[@libbyedwards9305]

Thank you so much for your research of these Hymns. I am reminded of my childhood, sitting in Church with my mother, tears rolling down. The Hymns always bring me close to my saviour. Thank you again.

[@miriamseeger8396]

I grew up in the Salvation Army. Truly enjoyed the hymns that you chose. Interesting and bringing the Lord to my heart.

[@RugumayoDominic]

Thanks

[@jonathancowan9323]

Verse 2 rings very true ... we can't see His smile but by looking at Him. When our eyes are on Him even though the tempest remains our perspective immediately changes and we are at peace, His peace. Consider Peter who took his eyes off the Lord in the storm and suddenly the wind and waves became an issue, now consider God's promise in Phill 4 to guard us with His peace beyond understanding. i.e. peace that cannot be explained ... shadowless cloudless storms.

[@phebienewman819]

Greater bleseings come from obedience to our all-loving and all-wise God because only He has our very and ultimate interest in the Father's heart ✝️💜🙏

[@nancystrobel1574]

I really love watching these hymn videos- I grew up in a conservative baptist church and grew up singing these hymns- so nice to hear the history behind them! Thank you for your ministry!

[@anettahylton3206]

[@kunegondahoward-tripp68]

This song reminds me of what my dear Mother believed and witnessed. We learned this song at church and became my Mum's favourite. She sang it and taught me how to trust and obey. Not always done for me but I trust my precious Lord and know He is always with my family. Thank you Luke for sharing these great hymns with us. God bless your ministry here on U-tube.

[@woodmason]

I learned this song in Sunday School before I started elementary school. I guess I could sing it before I could read it.God is so wonderful leading little kids to His Son Jesus.

[@JudithZamba]

I sang this song as a child before Sunday school, but after God saved me i realized the truth of it and found it rang true to me .thank you for sharing all these hymns histories.

[@roberthess3939]

The theme song of my time in grad school at Columbia International University. Wonderful song; wonderful truths. Wonderful memories!

[@tillabezuidenhout6460]

It is 31 August today. I listen to your true words makes me grateful because I have a terrible heartache because of rhe burnt building in Johannesburg and the people sufferering and panicking because they could not escape.

[@cherylchristie7948]

[@stellamaccallum4242]

Morning Luke, great old hymn this, been part of my whole life, special memories indeed! Thank you for this time with this hymn, "Trust and Obey" 😊

[@HRMTW-rj7fm]

Thank you so very much for your presentation. I have been searching for the story behind ‘If you but Trust in God to Guide you’ when I can up on this. God bless you. May we all learn to trust and obey completely.

[@cynthiacrockett4112]

WoW had to post! This one of my favorite hymns of all times. I've been in the church all my life but never know the verses. Thanks for sharing all five, an explanation and music. All very well done!!!

[@julieellis6793]

Thk u Luke for u faithfullness

[@zerrubabbel]

Trust and Obey was a congregation favorite of the church I attended for the longest duration while growing up... Today, I resent it as critical thought stopping propaganda, and an almost self regulating device that prevents people from seeking answers outside of doctrine.
