Lyrics: “Trusting God”
I gotta be honest, I don’t know, this time I don’t have the answers, I’m just out here trust God, sing Monica
Why would I think, that I could handle this alone
When so many things in my life were going wrong
People I loved made promises they didn’t keep
“It wasn’t the first time”
I should have known better tried to do better, there was no one to blame but me
There were times that my faith wasn’t there
“But you were”
But you were and you told me you cared
And the nights that I didn’t feel safe
And this pain that I cannot explain
“This all I’m doing”
So I’m just out here trusting God
“When I don’t understand your plan for me”
And I’m just out here believing every word you promised me
“Yes”
I’m just out here holding on
“That’s all I can do, I won’t give up”
And I won’t give up because I know you won’t give up on me
“But sometimes it’s hard to believe”
There were times that my faith got weak
“Weak”
And the tears made it hard to sleep
“Hard”
And when things didn’t go my way
“I got in my feelings”, my way
In my pride I refused to pray
“I was talking to everybody else I should have been talking to you father”
And I’m just out here trusting God
“Trusting God I’m trusting God”
And I’m just out here believing every word that you promised me
“Right now”
I’m just out here holding on
“Holding on”
And we want you to know when life seems out of control
Be Still and Know, “be still” that God, “that God” is in control
“Still in control”, when it doesn’t make sense”
Be Still and Know, “that my God”, Is in control
“Still in control”
Be Still and Know “and know, that God, “that God” is in control
“Still in control”, Be still and know “when you’re in your storm” “be still
That my God, is in control “somebody’s hurting right now”, God’s still with you, “just be still”
Be still and Know that my God is in control “when you don’t understand it”
Be still “You just need to be still” and know that my God is in control
“And God even when you don’t do it my way”
And even if you don’t, it’s not because you can’t
You know more than I know, you’re still in control
“God”
And Even if you don’t
“I can see to the corner”
It’s not because you can’t
“But you see around the corner”
You know more than I know
“You know what’s best for me”
You’re still in control
“Even when you don’t do it”
And even if you don’t
“The prayers you didn’t answer
It’s not because you can’t
“You had something better for me”
You know more than I know
You’re still in control
“Monica He’s still in”
“Control”
Even if you don’t
It’s not because you can’t
You know more than I know
You’re still in control
“God nothing gets to me without going through you, it’s been Father Filtered, that’s why”
I’m just out here trusting God
“Yeah”
“Inspite of the pain”
I’m just out here believing every word you promised me
“Every word you promised”
And I’m just out here holding on
Be still and know “when you don’t know” that God is on control
Be still and know that God, is in control
“Be still and know”
