I Will Trust You

 

"I don't even want to breathe right now

All I want to do is close my eyes

And I don't want to open them again

'Til I'm standing on the other side

I don't even want to be right now

I don't want to think another thought

And I don't want to feel this pain I feel

But right now pain is all I've got

It feels like it's all I've got

But I know it's not

Now I know You're all I've got


And I will trust You, I'll trust You

Trust You God, I will

Even when I don't understand

Even then I will say again

You are my God

And I will trust You


God, I'm waiting for the day to come

When this cloudy glass I'm looking through

Is shattered in a million pieces

And finally I can just see You

God, You know I believe it's true

I know I will see You

But until the day I do


And I will trust You, I'll trust You

Trust You God, I will

Even when I don't understand

Even then I will say again

You are my God

And I will trust You


And with every breath I take

And for every day that breaks

I will trust You, I will trust You

And when nothing is making sense

Even then I will say again

God, I trust You, I will trust You

I know Your heart is good

I know Your love is strong

And I know Your plans for me

Are much better than my own

So I will trust You, trust You

I trust You God, I will

Even when I can't see the end


And I will trust You

I will trust You, I will

Even when I don't understand

Even then I will say again

And I will trust You

I will trust You, I will


I know Your heart is good

Your love is strong

Your plans for me are better than my own

Yeah, Your heart is good

Your love is strong

Your plans for me are better than my own

And I trust You

You are my God

And I will trust You"

-'I Will Trust You' by Steven Curtis Chapman



As the deer pants for streams of water,

so my soul pants for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

When can I go and meet with God?

My tears have been my food

day and night,

while men say to me all day long,

"Where is your God?"

These things I remember

as I pour out my soul:

how I used to go with the multitude,

leading the procession to the house of God,

with shouts of joy and thanksgiving

among the festive throng.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God.

My soul is downcast within me;

therefore I will remember you

from the land of the Jordan,

the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep

in the roar of your waterfalls;

all your waves and breakers

have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love,

at night his song is with me—

a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock,

"Why have you forgotten me?

Why must I go about mourning,

oppressed by the enemy?"

My bones suffer mortal agony

as my foes taunt me,

saying to me all day long,

"Where is your God?"

Why are you downcast, O my soul?

Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God.

-Psalm 42


I put my hope in You, and I will yet praise You,
my Savior and my God.



In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;

let me never be put to shame;

deliver me in your righteousness.

Turn your ear to me,

come quickly to my rescue;

be my rock of refuge,

a strong fortress to save me.

Since you are my rock and my fortress,

for the sake of your name lead and guide me.

Free me from the trap that is set for me,

for you are my refuge.

Into your hands I commit my spirit;

redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;

I trust in the LORD.

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,

for you saw my affliction

and knew the anguish of my soul.

You have not handed me over to the enemy

but have set my feet in a spacious place.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

my soul and my body with grief.

My life is consumed by anguish

and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,

and my bones grow weak.

Because of all my enemies,

I am the utter contempt of my neighbors;

I am a dread to my friends—

those who see me on the street flee from me.

I am forgotten by them as though I were dead;

I have become like broken pottery.

For I hear the slander of many;

there is terror on every side;

they conspire against me

and plot to take my life.

But I trust in you, O LORD;

I say, "You are my God."

My times are in your hands;

deliver me from my enemies

and from those who pursue me.

Let your face shine on your servant;

save me in your unfailing love.

Let me not be put to shame, O LORD,

for I have cried out to you;

but let the wicked be put to shame

and lie silent in the grave.

Let their lying lips be silenced,

for with pride and contempt

they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

How great is your goodness,

which you have stored up for those who fear you,

which you bestow in the sight of men

on those who take refuge in you.

In the shelter of your presence you hide them

from the intrigues of men;

in your dwelling you keep them safe

from accusing tongues.

Praise be to the LORD,

for he showed his wonderful love to me

when I was in a besieged city.

In my alarm I said,

"I am cut off from your sight!"

Yet you heard my cry for mercy

when I called to you for help.

Love the LORD, all his saints!

The LORD preserves the faithful,

but the proud he pays back in full.

Be strong and take heart,

all you who hope in the LORD.

-Psalm 31
