Lyrics
Verse 1
Close your eyes
Take a step
It's okay I know where we're going
Don't fret
I've been before
Through these valleys
Down these long and dangerous roads
Yet dark as they seem
Chorus
Trust me
though you can't see
You can trust me
the way may be steep
You can trust me
Let me lead
Trust me
Verse 2
Open your eyes
but don't let go of my hand
Let your tears give way to smile
See the joy inside your trial
Don't worry
You're safe with me around
Rest assured I'm on your side
I won't let you hit the ground
Close as it seems
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
See I know that what's in front of you isn't always clear
But you must believe it in your heart that I'm here
I am here Oh
(Repeat Chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration
Trust Me is a song written in the voice of God speaking to a person facing an uncertain road. The opening asks the listener to close the eyes and take a step, promising that the way is known and that He has been through these valleys and long, dangerous roads before. The chorus repeats the simple plea "Trust me," even when the way cannot be seen or is steep, and invites the listener to let Him lead.
The second verse says to open the eyes but keep hold of His hand, to let tears give way to a smile, to see joy inside the trial, and to rest assured that He is on the listener's side. The bridge acknowledges that what lies ahead is not always clear but asks the listener to believe that He is here. The themes follow Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 41:13. The gentle repetition gives the song a calm, reassuring tone.
