Trust You

This song, "Trust You" from Brandon Heath's latest CD "What If We" is about the personal inner struggle that happens when we hold on to whatever it is that doesn’t allow us to seek after God. I think that trust has a lot to do with love. And I don’t think that you can really love someone unless you trust them. Ultimately, I don’t know that I would have the courage or strength to do half of what I do without the trust I’ve developed with God. He’s shown me through countless situations that I have no reason not to trust that He will keep me safe. I think it starts with being stripped and broken in His presence. This song is all about that process.

Trust You

I can’t walk without watching where I’m going
I can’t speak without knowing what to say
I can’t love and have any hesitation
Cause I know that you don’t work that way

I can’t reach without something to offer
I can’t come now I am so ashamed
I can’t hold out from you any longer
Cause I know that you don’t work that way

Chorus
I’m not gonna fight you anymore
Not gonna try to lock the door
You took your life and gave me yours
There’s no reason why
I shouldn’t trust you with mine

It’s never easy changing my direction
It’s so unnatural to loosen up my grip
Are you growing weary of all my good intentions
Cause I know that You don’t work that way

Chorus

Bridge
Some days
This wait upon my shoulder
Is my shame
I know I should know better
Cause you say
That I must now surrender
There’s no other way

Chorus
