It's so hard to trust, when the pain is so real
and the answer seems so far away.
But it's already done, the victory's been won.
Simply trust... trust and obey.
My suffering child, though bruised for a while,
battered and tossed about.
I see the tears and heart-rending fears,
and know you're so prone to doubt.
So, why do you go on so all alone,
nearly drowned in the depths of despair?
I am here for today and all your tomorrows.
Give Me your sorrows and cares.
Doth He who formed the ear not hear?
And Who made the eye not see?
When the waves beat the hull in the midst of your storm,
in the darkest of night... trust Me.
I so long to hold you in My arms,
for as Shepherd I cradle My sheep.
For when you call, I whisper: "Peace be still."
and give you My comfort, My peace.
