(May be sung to the tune of "The Battle of New Orleans, " "In 1814 we took a little trip, along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississip...")
1. (D)"Trust in God a- (G)bove all other things," this
(A7)is the first commandment and the (D)mes-sage that it brings, and
(D)if we'll only learn this song our (G)mem-'ry it'll prod, re-
(A7)mind- ing us to always revrence (D)love and trust in God.
C. We
(D)have one God and we don't have no other. We
(D)only have the one and the (A7)rea- son is be- (D)cause in
(D)all the world you can't find another. No-
(D)body else can do all of the (A7)migh- ty things He (D)does.
2. Our
mon- ey's something we real- ly like to trust. We
stuff it in our pockets till we think their gonna bust. But
mon- ey will not buy for us the things we need the most. That
on- ly come from God, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Chorus
3. We
trust ourselves and we trust in others too, ex-
pect- ing them to do for us what on- ly God can do, or
else we put our confidence in bot- tles or in pills, when
all along we know that they can nev- er cure our ills.
Chorus
4. So
when our troubles hunt us up today, well
are we gonna turn to God or look some other way? Be-
fore we nail down our pick, there's some- thing we should know. Since
no one else can help us out, where are we gonna go?
