Lyrics
Verse 1
I wish I could explain away the hardest parts
Of life that makes it easy to get lost
And understand the ways that You seem to love me so
And just how much You gave me on that cross
Chorus
But I trust You, I trust You
I don't need to know it all
To know I love You
I trust you, Jesus, I trust you
I don't need to know it all
To know I want You
Verse 2
I wish I knew the reason for a hurting heart
Or why it's something no one can escape
Maybe then I'd understand the price You paid, You paid for me
The value of the beautiful exchange
Chorus
But I trust You, I trust You
I don't need to know it all
To know I love You
I trust you, Jesus, I trust you
I don't need to know it all
To know I want You
Bridge
I don't need these eyes to see
The miracles in front of me
God, Your hand's in everything
You make it easy to believe
I don't need to know the way
Because I'm called to walk by faith
No matter how long it might take
God, my hope will still remain
Chorus
I love You, I love You
With everything I am
Jesus, I love you
I love You, Jesus, I love You
With every beat of my heart
I love You

Meaning & Inspiration
“Trust You” places faith beside questions that do not receive easy answers. Hardship, a hurting heart, and the mystery of suffering remain unresolved, but the song answers uncertainty with confidence in Jesus. The cross is presented as the clearest evidence of divine love, while the “beautiful exchange” points toward grace given at great cost. Trust does not depend on understanding every part of life.
The bridge sharpens that theme by contrasting physical sight with spiritual confidence. Miracles, God’s hand in daily events, and hope that remains through delay all support the call to walk by faith. This language closely echoes the biblical contrast between faith and sight. The final chorus moves from trust into love, showing devotion as a whole-person response rather than an explanation for pain. The song therefore leaves mystery intact while locating steadiness in Christ’s character and sacrificial love.
