Lyrics
I will put my trust in You O Lord
Some trust in their wealth
Some in ancient stones
Some in modern science
Some in gods unknown
Some trust in the earth
Some trust in their luck
Some trust in the stars
Some trust in their looks
Through the storms of li fe
The valleys and the hills
When I feel alright
When I've had my fill
Even when I'm up!
Even when I'm low
I'm holding on to You
I'm not letting go
Trust with all my heart
That You will lead me through
Not leaning on my strength
I acknowledge You
In everything I do
Listen for Your voice
Keeping me on track
Everywhere I go

Meaning & Inspiration
The song centers on a deliberate choice to rely on the Lord rather than wealth, tradition, science, luck, appearance, or personal strength. Its contrasts give the message a clear spiritual focus: trust is not reserved for crisis, but remains steady through storms and calm, valleys and hills, confidence and discouragement. The repeated commitment to hold on to God presents faith as continuing dependence rather than a passing emotion.
The closing lines closely echo Proverbs 3:5-6 by describing trust with the whole heart, refusal to lean on personal strength, acknowledgment of God, and confidence in divine direction. Psalm 20:7 also provides a fitting parallel to the song’s list of rival sources of security. Together, these themes frame worship as loyalty expressed in everyday decisions, attentive listening, and perseverance. The simple language makes the central confession unmistakable: God is the dependable guide in every circumstance.
