Tis So Sweet

Hawk Nelson's take on the classic hymn "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus" keeps the old words close while letting a modern worship arrangement carry them. The lyric circles one simple confession: trusting Jesus is sweet, not burdensome. The singer takes Him at His Word, rests on His promise, and echoes the old prophetic phrase "thus saith the Lord." A chorus of address follows, calling Jesus the shelter in the storm and the dearest friend the singer knows, then asking the Light of the world to carry them home. The repeated prayer "for grace to trust Him more" is the hinge of the whole song — trust isn't mustered up, it's asked for. The second verse turns inward, naming the release from sin and self, and receiving life, rest, joy, and peace straight from Jesus. The closing line, a plea for strength to trust more, leaves the song hanging on dependence rather than arrival. It's a hymn of quiet, repeated surrender, sung as a prayer more than a declaration.
