While I was pouring my heart out to God
About things getting tough,
How I had just gotten paid, but again,
It was not quite enough,
That’s when my honey walked in, looking grim
And wearing a frown,
Asking, “Are you aware we’ve got checks
Bouncing all over town?”
Well, what could I say when that
Still small voice from afar:
Said, “You forgot to make your bank deposit—
It’s been out in your car.”
Chorus: I’m still gonna trust You,
I’m still gonna trust You, Lord,
I’m still gonna trust You,
I’m still gonna trust You, Lord,
When everything that I do seems a waste of my time,
And I feel like I’m falling farther behind,
I’m still gonna trust You,
I’m still gonna trust You, Lord.
At my computer I was finally typing the very last line,
And I was thanking the Lord
That I would get that report in on time,
But then I turned when I heard some tiny
Footsteps out in the hall,
And watched helpless as my five year-old
Pulled the plug from the wall,
As the words on the screen and the smile
On my face faded away,
Despite the ache in my heart
And the clench in my teeth I would say: Okay,
Chorus
Now I was driving to church at the end of a difficult week,
And I was praying to find a way out of this losing streak.
While slowing down to turn in, that’s when I noticed
An ominous sound:
Screeching brakes, and a crunch, and then—
Metal hitting the ground.
But I said that I will still look to Jesus and pray
For the hit-and-run side-swiper crazily speeding away,
And say:
Chorus
I’m still gonna trust You, I’m still gonna trust,
I’m still gonna trust You, I’m still gonna trust,
I’m still gonna trust You, I’m still gonna trust You, Lord,
Because I’ve seen for myself what Your power can do,
And I know in the end that you’re gonna come through,
I’m still gonna trust You, I’m still gonna trust You, Lord.
