Point of Grace - Trust In The Lord Lyrics
Lyrics
Chorus
Trust, trust in the Lord
Lean not on your own understanding
In all, all of your ways
Acknowledge him
He'll make your path straight
You'll be my God for life
I'll walk by Your side
With your hand in mine
I'll go where You lead me
Chorus
My eyes can only see
The ground beneath my feet
your dreams are greater
Your ways are higher
O Lord please show me
Chorus
Bless my thoughts
My dreams my imaginations
Step by step
Your delight, Your creation
Chorus

Trust In the Lord
Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2002 as part of the *Girls of Grace* EP, Point of Grace's "Trust in the Lord" offers a profound meditation on the core of Christian living: unwavering reliance on God's divine guidance. This song isn't about a fleeting feeling, but a deliberate choice to place our complete faith in the Lord, even when our own perception is limited to the immediate circumstances. The central message is eloquently captured in the repeated refrain, urging listeners to "trust, trust in the Lord" and to "lean not on your own understanding." This echoes the ancient wisdom found in Proverbs 3:5-6, which promises that by acknowledging Him in all our ways, He will direct our steps. The lyrics further articulate this surrender with lines like, "You'll be my God for life, I'll walk by Your side, With Your hand in mine, I'll go where You lead me," painting a vivid picture of a devoted follower allowing God's will to shape their journey. This personal commitment mirrors the covenant relationship described throughout Scripture, where individuals pledge their allegiance and trust to a faithful God. The poignant admission, "My eyes can only see the ground beneath my feet," beautifully illustrates human fallibility and the often-narrow scope of our vision, contrasting it with the boundless nature of God's "dreams" and "higher ways." This humility is essential for spiritual growth, reminding us of our dependence on divine revelation and wisdom, as articulated in Isaiah 55:8-9, which states, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord." The prayerful plea, "O Lord please show me," signifies a willingness to be taught and guided, a posture of openness that allows God to illuminate the path ahead. The final stanza, "Bless my thoughts, my dreams my imaginations, step by step, Your delight, Your creation," expands this trust beyond mere actions to encompass the very landscape of our inner lives, seeking God's blessing and alignment in every aspect of our being, recognizing that our true purpose and fulfillment lie in being His creation, living according to His design. The song serves as a powerful, inspiring reminder to cultivate a faith that actively surrenders to God's sovereign plan, finding peace and direction in His unchanging promises.
