Lyrics
I can’t see where I’m going
The lines are blurred but you’re showing me love
Love in the midst of the dark
I don’t know what you’re doing
But blindly I am pursuing you now
Good Shepherd, lead my heart
Come and do what you wanna do
You will do what only you can do
I wanna be where you are
No matter how far it takes me
Lead through the dark
My hope, you will not forsake me
Oh, I will trust in You
Oh, I will trust in You
I don’t know where you’re taking me
But I know that You’re making me like You
The old is washed away
When I’m tired of contendin
I know you won the beginning and end
Jesus, You are here now
Bring on the waves
I’m loved by the One who anchors me
No fear of the grave
I walk with the King of victory
Bring on the waves
I’m loved by the One who anchors me
No fear of the grave
I walk with the King of victory
Oh, I will trust in You
Oh, I will trust in You
Kory Miller, Brinnae Keathley

Meaning & Inspiration
I Will Trust portrays faith practiced without a clear view of the road ahead. Blurred direction and darkness are answered by the presence of a Good Shepherd who leads the heart. The song does not deny uncertainty or weariness; instead, it places hope in Christ’s guidance, transforming work, and victory. Waves, the grave, and the unknown become occasions for trust because the singer is anchored, loved, and accompanied by the King.
The appeal for guidance closely reflects Proverbs 3:5-6, which joins trust in the Lord with the promise that he will direct the path. Calling Jesus the Good Shepherd also recalls Psalm 23:3-4, especially its picture of guidance through a dark valley without abandonment. The image of an anchor fits Hebrews 6:19, where hope is described as secure and steadfast. These connections support the song’s main confession: confidence rests not in knowing the destination, but in the faithful presence of the one who leads.
