Zauntee - Trust Lyrics
Lyrics
Pre-Chorus
I can't trust myself
So how I'm supposed to trust somebody else
I'm trying to keep my faith
But its so hard when you're walking through hell
I just wanna make it out alive tonight
Chorus
Even when it's hard
I know You won't leave me
I've got battle scars
But thank God I'm still breathing
I've made it this far
You're the only reason
So even when it's dark
Help me keep believing
Even when its hard
Verse 1
Memories in my brain
I can't block 'em out
It was way too many nights I couldn't fall asleep
Wondering if You're really there for me
And I wanna know
How far Your love will go
Yeah, yeah, I keep overthinking
I'm so insecure
Its hard to have the faith
When you don't have the fall
Pre-Chorus
Ooh-oh
Can't trust myself
So how I'm supposed to trust somebody else
I'm trying to keep my faith
But its so hard when you're walking through hell
I just wanna make it out alive tonight
Chorus
Even when it's hard
I know You won't leave me
I've got battle scars
But thank God I'm still breathing
I made it this far
You're the only reason
So even when it's dark
Help me keep believing
Even when it's hard
Verse 2
I thought I didn't need You
I've never been so wrong before
Thought I couldn't see You
But You were standing there at the door
I don't wanna waste my time
After way too many sleepless nights
I'ma take a leap of faith I know
You're the only one gonna get my soul
Pre-Chorus
I can't trust myself
So how I'm supposed to trust somebody else
Trying to keep my faith
But it's so hard when you're walking through hell
I just wanna make it out alive tonight
Chorus
Even when it's hard
I know You won't leave me
I've got battle scars
But thank God I'm still breathing
I made it this far
You're the only reason
So even when it's dark
Help me keep believing
Even when its hard
Post-Chorus
Even when it's hard
I know You won't leave me
I've got battle scars
But thank God I'm still breathing
I made it this far
You're the only reason
Even when it's dark
I will keep believing
Even when its hard

Zauntee - Trust (Official Audio)
Meaning & Inspiration
Zauntee's "Trust," released as part of his 2020 album *3:34*, is a powerful testament to grappling with doubt and finding unwavering faith in God's presence, even amidst profound struggle. The song dives headfirst into the raw vulnerability of a spiritual journey, articulating the internal conflict that arises when personal trust wavers. Zauntee opens by expressing the deeply relatable difficulty of trusting others when self-doubt takes root, stating, "I can't trust myself, so how I'm supposed to trust somebody else." This sets the stage for the core theme: the struggle to maintain faith when one feels like they are "walking through hell." The pre-chorus articulates this desperation, a yearning to simply "make it out alive tonight."
The chorus then pivots, offering a beacon of hope and an anchor in the storm. It's here that Zauntee declares, "Even when it's hard, I know You won't leave me." This is not a passive acceptance, but an active declaration of belief, acknowledging the "battle scars" that bear witness to past trials, yet celebrating the ongoing gift of "breathing." The profound realization that God is "the only reason" for having made it this far is central to the song's message, emphasizing a reliance that transcends personal strength. This echoes the sentiment found in Jeremiah 17:5, which warns against trusting in mere human strength, stating, "Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord." Instead, Zauntee's lyrics align with verses like Psalm 46:1, which proclaims, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."
Zauntee's verses flesh out the internal turmoil, recounting sleepless nights spent questioning God's presence and the extent of His love. The insecurity and overthinking are laid bare, highlighting the challenge of having faith when there's no tangible "fall" to precipitate it. This wrestling with doubt is a universal human experience, reflected in the Psalms themselves, where David frequently poured out his anxieties to God. Verse 2 marks a significant turning point, a humble admission of past arrogance: "I thought I didn't need You, I've never been so wrong before." This realization, that God was present even when unseen, is a profound moment of surrender. It speaks to the humbling truth found in Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The commitment to "take a leap of faith" in the knowledge that God alone can secure one's soul is a powerful affirmation of this newfound trust. The post-chorus reinforces this unwavering resolve, transforming the plea for help into a personal declaration of commitment: "I will keep believing." This journey from self-doubt to steadfast faith, fueled by the unshakeable knowledge of God's constant presence, makes "Trust" an inspiring anthem for anyone navigating life's most challenging seasons.
