do I trust you?


Sometimes my little heart can't understand
What's in Your will, what's in Your plan.
So many times I'm tempted to ask
You why,
But I can never forget it for long.
Lord, what You do could not be wrong.
So I believe You,
even when I must cry.

Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the river flow?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the north wind blow?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?

I know the answers, I've given them all.
But suddenly now, I feel so small.
Shaken down to the cavity in my soul.
I know the doctrine and theology,
But right now they don't mean much to me.
This time there's only one thing
I've got to know.

Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the robin sing?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does it rain in spring?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?

I will trust You, Lord,
when I don't know why.
I will trust You, Lord,
till the day I die.
I will trust You, Lord,
when I'm blind with pain!
You were God before,
and You'll never change.
I will trust You.I will trust You.
I will trust You, Lord.
I will trust You.
