Trusting You

Trusting You

Sometimes the darkness clouds my eyes.
I get caught up in all the busyness of my life.
I continue to walk all by myself.
Ignoring that You're there to help.

And it's in these moments...
I need to turn. I need to trust.
I need to run back into Your arms.
To lay myself down. To swallow my pride.
To trust You with my life.

When I return into Your fold,
You pick up the pieces and You hold
Me in Your arms until I feel
The eternal love that's oh so real.

Because You said to me...
I need to turn. I need to trust.
I need to run back into Your arms.
To lay myself down. To swallow my pride.
To trust You with my life.


Once I come back and trust in You,
You show me how You led me through.
Using all the bad for my good.
To bring about a day when I would...

Finally realize...
I need to turn. I need to trust.
I need to run back into Your arms.
To lay myself down. To swallow my pride.
To trust You with my life.


You were ever faithful.
You were ever true.
You waited patiently
For me to trust in You.
Thanks for never giving up.
Thanks for never leaving.
Thanks for unfailing love
That kept me believing.
You always knew.
You always planned.
A time would come
When I'd understand...

I need to turn. I need to trust.
I need to run back into Your arms.
To lay myself down. To swallow my pride.
To trust You with my life.


Right now I really need to make these words as real to me as when I wrote them. I've got too much going on. I need rest. Lord, help me to find my Sabbath in You.

I'm praying for you, Andrew. God will give you rest. That's one of His many promises. Just keep trusting in His perfect plans for your life. Talk to you soon.
