I Can Trust You
Embracing Trust: Surrendering Control & Finding Freedom in Faith
Lyrics
Yes, I know that You have paved a path for me
Acknowledgment of the belief that a path has been prepared by a higher power.
Yes, I know that You see what I do and don't need
Acknowledgment of the higher power's omniscience, understanding what is necessary.
But when it comes to the deepest things
Struggle with surrendering control over profound aspects of life.
I have a hard time relinquishing control
Difficulty in releasing control, indicating resistance to letting go.
Letting go
Highlighting the challenge of releasing and surrendering.
God, it hurts to give You what I must lay down
Pain experienced while relinquishing something significant to a higher power.
But when I let go, freedom's found
Discovery of freedom upon releasing control to the higher power.
God, it hurts to give You what I've held so dear
Pain felt when surrendering something deeply cherished.
Because of Your love it's clear
Recognition that clarity emerges due to the love of the higher power.
I can trust You with this
Statement of trust in the higher power with a specific issue or situation.
I can trust You with me
Assertion of trust in the higher power with oneself.
I can trust You
Reiteration of the ability to trust the higher power.
Lord, I know that You are worthy of my trust
Acknowledgment of the higher power's worthiness to be trusted.
For You have shown me time and time again
Recounting instances where the higher power has proven faithfulness.
You're faithful and yet
Despite evidence of faithfulness, feeling fear about letting go.
I'm so scared of letting go of this
Expressing fear of releasing something important.
Afraid of what You might do with it
Fear of the potential actions or changes that the higher power might enact.
How could I forget who You are like this
Questioning how one could forget the nature or character of the higher power.
Me forsaking
Personal admission of abandonment or rejection.
Heart is breaking
Emotional turmoil experienced while releasing tightly held things.
I let go of what I've held so tight
Act of finally releasing something held tightly.
Freedom's mine now
Claiming personal ownership of newfound freedom.
For the taking
Acknowledgment of the availability of freedom through taking action.
I move in faith, not by sight
Commitment to move forward based on faith, not physical evidence.
Let Your will be done
Submission to the higher power's will, allowing it to prevail.
