Lyrics
When life seems cruel
And so unfair
With each new day it seems a greater problem's waiting there
For each step forward I take
Seems I get pushed two steps behind
Don't think I'm going to make it sometimes
Don't think my nerves can take it this time
As I'm about to call it quits a solution comes to mind
Why not trust God again?
I know that He can do it
If I pray again, believe again
My God will work it for my good again
I know that He will see me through it all
If I trust in God again.
Is there a mountain standing in your way
Is there a loved one you're worried about today
Is there a blessing you desire that seems intangible
Instead of giving up the fight
Cling to faith with all your might
The One who's seen you through before is still able
(He's still able.)
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at his word
Why not trust
Chorus
Why not trust God again
I know that he can do it
If I pray again, believe again
My God will work it for my good again
I know that He will see me through it all
If I trust in God again.
I will, I will, I will trust in God again ( repeat )

Meaning & Inspiration
“Why Not Trust God Again” gives voice to faith under pressure rather than pretending hardship is easy. The opening describes repeated setbacks, exhaustion, and the temptation to quit. Against that strain, the chorus proposes renewed prayer and belief, grounding confidence in God’s ability to bring good from painful circumstances and carry a troubled person through them.
The second section applies the same appeal to obstacles, concern for a loved one, and a blessing that seems beyond reach. Its language of a mountain and its call to cling to faith portray trust as persistence when visible answers are absent. A quotation from the hymn “’Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus” links the song’s contemporary testimony with a familiar Christian confession about relying on Christ’s word. The repeated closing pledge, “I will trust in God again,” becomes the song’s resolution: past help supplies reason to pray, believe, and depend on God once more.
