“Trust and Obey” (John H. Sammis, 1887) Longville Tom Adams on Vangoa VU403 ukulele

Описание: “Trust and Obey” (John H. Sammis, 1887) Longville Tom Adams on Vangoa VU403 ukulele

The third verse says:
But we never can prove
the delights of his love
until all on the altar we lay;
for the favor he shows,
for the joy he bestows,
are for them who will trust and obey.

Good old Longville Tom Adams finds that moment by moment, the Lord is fully aware of Tom's every thought, feeling, word, and deed. Still, the challenge always remains: to relinquish all the my-truths, do-it-yourselfs, too-prouds, just-do-its, believe-in-ourselves, trust-the-forces, judgmental-nonjudging, legalistic-living… and only … trust and obey, for there's no other way
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. The beauty is this: Jesus sees when we let go and let God. The Good Lord does show favor … even to Longville Tom Adams when he manages to get maybe one out of three notes right playing his ukulele.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 NIV

The instrument:
Vangoa VU403
Concert ukulele
Laminate mahogany top, back, and sides.

This came out of the box today from Goodwill in Hillsboro, Oregon. Tuned up, and this is how it sounds. It's a low-priced “entry-level” concert ukulele that seems to have a jingle in its high frequencies. It was very playable, fret edges were smooth; action was very good. Good find.
