James Fortune - I Trust You Lyrics
Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Even though I can't see
And I can't feel your touch
I will trust you lord
How I love you so much
Though my nights my seem long
And I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you
I surrender to you
[Bridge:]
So many painful thoughts
Travel through my mind
And I wonder how
I will make it through this time
[Chorus:]
But I trust you
Lord it's not easy
Sometimes the pain in my life
Makes you seem far away
But I'll trust you
I need to know you're here
Through the tears and the pain
Through the heartache and rain
I'll trust you
[Verse 2:]
Everything that I see
Tells me not to believe
But I'll trust you lord
You have never failed me
My past still controls me
Will this hurt ever leave?
I can only trust you
No one else like you do
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Vamp:]
I can
I will
I must
Trust you [repeat]
I will
Trust you [repeat]
[modulate]
I will
Trust you [repeat]
[modulate]
I'll trust you [x3]
I will [repeat]
God will make a way [x4]

James Fortune & FIYA - I Trust You
Meaning & Inspiration
Released on July 28, 2008, James Fortune & FIYA's "I Trust You" stands as a powerful anthem of unwavering faith amidst life's inevitable storms. The song emanates from a profound understanding of human vulnerability and the divine promise of steadfast presence, echoing the timeless truth found throughout Scripture. At its core, "I Trust You" is an exploration of surrender, a declaration that even when circumstances appear overwhelming and the path ahead is obscured, placing our confidence in God’s unshakeable character brings peace and strength. This sentiment is deeply rooted in the Psalmist's fervent declaration in Psalm 9:10, "Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, Lord, have not abandoned those who seek you." The song's message encourages a posture of dependence, reminding us that true security is not found in our own ability to control or understand every situation, but in the reliable nature of God’s faithfulness. It speaks to the human tendency to lean on our own understanding, as Proverbs 3:5 advises against this, urging instead, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding." "I Trust You" directly addresses this by inviting listeners to release anxieties and place them at the foot of the cross, drawing parallels to Jesus' own words in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." The song’s evocative power lies in its direct confrontation of doubt and fear with an audacious act of faith, a courage that finds its source in the knowledge that God’s plans are good and His promises are sure. This is further illuminated by Jeremiah 29:11, which assures, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Through its resonant message, "I Trust You" serves as a vital reminder that in every season, whether of joy or trial, whether understood or unknown, our complete reliance on God’s wisdom and power is the foundation upon which a life of hope and resilience is built, a testament to the enduring power of faith as described in Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."
