I Trust in You song artwork
Psalm 37:3

I Trust in You

Faith for the moment when understanding runs out.

Read lyrics for I Trust in You

Verse 1

The wind blows hard across my face, A bitter cold I can’t escape. I built my life with prideful hands, And made my stand on shifting sands. I tell myself I’m strong enough, To bear the weight when times get tough. But in the silence of the night, I find I cannot save my life.

Pre-Chorus

Not by my power do I stand or rise, Not by the strength I’ve idolized. What I defend begins to fall — I was never strong at all.

Chorus

When the ground won’t hold my weight, When I feel my spirit shake — I trust in You. Not because I’m strong enough, Not because I measure up — I trust in You.

Verse 2

Success felt strong beneath my feet, Like nothing there could humble me. It rose high above it all, Till it began to crack and fall. All the pride I held so deep, Could not give my soul its peace.

Bridge

You don’t bend and You don’t break, You remain when I forsake. Everything I built gave way — I had nothing left to say. Surrender is not defeat — It’s where I fall at Your feet.

Final Chorus

When the ground gives way beneath, When my spirit shakes in me, I trust in You. Not because of what I do, But because You don’t move — I trust in You.

Tag

I trust in You. I trust in You.

Intro

(Instrumental)

Verse 1

We stepped out in faith, just as we are, Redeemed by His grace, despite our scars. Sharing our stories, hearts outpoured, We saw broken lives being restored.

Chorus

The more we say yes and go, The more of You we come to know. You take us behind the veil, We learn Your love will never fail.

Verse 2

Young and old in all their despair, Needed a taste of Your loving care. Hungry children we helped feed, Curry porridge met their need.

Bridge

Matthew's dreams of worshiping You, Lord, With an instrument he could not afford. His prayer was answered before he knew, A willing heart would say yes to You. What we couldn't see, You knew what would be. What we didn't know, You, Lord, made it so. Behind the veil, You let us see, Lives made new — including me.

Final Chorus

The more we say yes and go, The more of You we come to know. You take us behind the veil, We learn Your love will never fail.

Tag / Outro

It will never fail, behind the veil. (Instrumental)

He’s the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End, the One who formed us — the Great I Am.

Read lyrics for How Could He

Intro

Hmmm… how could He?

Verse 1

Who’s this Jesus people say who cares? Is He Allah, Buddha, or the man upstairs? How could He leave His throne on high, Being born on earth, coming here to die?

Verse 2

Some say He’s a prophet indeed, But fail to believe He’s of God’s own seed. How could He being God..., lay it down, Become a servant, as His own crown?

Chorus

He’s the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End, The One who formed us — the Great I Am. Jesus bore our wrongs, setting us free, As He carried our burdens to Calvary.

Verse 3

If only a man would He choose to pass, The cup given Him — His hour of last? How could He in suffering and shame, Break every chain, take our blame?

Verse 4

From cross to tomb, His body laid rest, Sealed with a rock by the Roman’s best. How could He, in that cold, dark grave, Begin to move as He rose the third day?

Chorus 2X: (1st Time Vocals/Beat Only)

He’s the Alpha, Omega, Beginning and End, The One who formed us — the Great I Am. Jesus bore our wrongs, setting us free, As He carried our burdens to Calvary.
