The Booth Brothers - Trust His Heart Lyrics
Lyrics
All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
And His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just don't see Him
Remember you're never alone.
Chorus
God is too wise to be mistaken
And God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand (understand)
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand,
Trust His heart.
Ooh, He sees the master plan (the master plan)
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
For all our hope is found in Him
For we see the present clearly
But he sees the first and the last (first and the last)
And like a tapestry, he's weaving you and me (you and me)
To someday be just like Him (ooh, like him)
Just like Him
Chorus
For He alone if faithful and true
And He alone knows what is best for you
Chorus

The Booth Brothers - Trust His Heart
Meaning & Inspiration
On November 8, 2018, The Booth Brothers released "Trust His Heart," a profound and deeply encouraging anthem that directly addresses the foundational struggle of faith: how to maintain belief in God’s goodness and wisdom when life’s circumstances seem to contradict them. The song immediately establishes its core message, echoing the timeless truth found in Romans 8:28, reminding us that "all things work for our good." However, it doesn't shy away from the human experience, acknowledging that often "we don't see how they could," especially when "struggles that break our hearts in two" blind us to a larger divine purpose. This introductory honesty immediately connects with anyone navigating personal suffering or confusion, setting the stage for a message of unwavering spiritual resilience rooted in God’s unchanging character.
The narrative arc of "Trust His Heart" gently guides us from doubt to devotion. It grounds itself in the premise that "Our Father knows what's best for us, and His ways are not our own," a truth profoundly articulated in Isaiah 55:8-9, where God declares His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. When our "pathway grows dim," and we find ourselves unable to perceive God's presence or plan, the song offers a potent reminder: "Remember you're never alone," echoing Psalm 23:4, which assures us of His presence even in the darkest valleys. This reassurance is not a dismissive platitude but a call to recall the very nature of God, which is where the transformative chorus takes its stand.
The pivotal chorus forms the spiritual anchor of the entire composition: "God is too wise to be mistaken, and God is too good to be unkind." This declaration is a powerful theological statement, asserting God's perfect attributes. His wisdom, as reflected in Romans 11:33, is unsearchable and beyond our comprehension, meaning His plans are flawless even when they appear circuitous or painful to our limited perspective. His goodness, steadfastly proclaimed in Psalm 100:5 and James 1:17, guarantees that any action or allowance from His hand is ultimately rooted in love, never malice. Therefore, "when you don't understand, when you don't see His plan, when you can't trace His hand, trust His heart." This is an invitation to move beyond intellectual comprehension or tangible evidence, much like Job's unwavering hope in Job 13:15, and instead anchor our faith in God's loving character. It's a call to trust not just what God *does*, but *who He is*.
Moving beyond immediate struggles, the song then expands its view to God's overarching sovereignty. It reminds us, "He sees the master plan, and He holds our future in His hand." This resonates with Jeremiah 29:11, where God declares His plans for our welfare and future, and Revelation 1:8, where He is presented as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Consequently, we are encouraged, "So don't live as those who have no hope, for all our hope is found in Him." This echoes the sentiment of Hebrews 11:1, defining faith as confidence in what we hope for, even if unseen. The lyric deepens this eternal perspective, noting, "For we see the present clearly, but he sees the first and the last," drawing directly from Isaiah 46:10, where God declares His ability to make known the end from the beginning. The beautiful metaphor of God "weaving you and me like a tapestry" suggests His intricate work in our lives, shaping us through every joy and sorrow "to someday be just like Him," aligning with 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Ephesians 2:10, which speak of our transformation into Christ's image and His workmanship in us.
Ultimately, "Trust His Heart" culminates by reinforcing God's unshakeable faithfulness, declaring, "For He alone is faithful and true, and He alone knows what is best for you." This echoes Deuteronomy 7:9, affirming God as the faithful God who keeps His covenant, and 2 Timothy 2:13, which assures us that even if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. This final affirmation cycles back to the core message, solidifying the idea that our trust is not misplaced or ill-founded but rests upon the immutable and perfect attributes of God. The song is a powerful spiritual balm, a declaration of divine constancy in a world of change, inviting every person to surrender their limited understanding and find profound peace in the boundless wisdom and goodness of their Creator. It is a timeless message, rendered with an encouraging clarity, designed to uplift spirits and redirect focus from earthly trials to heavenly perspective.
