In Me Do You Trust?

In Me Do You Trust?


In a still small voice Jesus does speak
Relief from the pain, my soul it does seek.
I cry out to Him, answer He must
He whispers to me, “in Me do you trust”?

My burdens are heavy, too much to bear
Jesus you’re quiet, are you still there?
My bones are decaying, returning to dust
Your question still lingers, “in Me do you trust”?

You said in your word that faith is my seed.
Oh Lord, please hear me, it's answers I need.
Please Lord you’ve said you’re faithful and just
Yet all You respond is, “in Me do you trust”?

I try to sound holy and respond, “surely I do”
But I cannot deceive You, my words are not true.
Oh Lord forgive me, I’ve complained and I’ve fussed

Lord please forgive me for my complete lack of trust.

I so long to trust you and know you complete
to no longer live a life of defeat.
In order to do this my faith cannot rust
In you Jesus only, I must place my trust.

These Walls

These Walls

You promised to protect me
safe inside your keep
If I’d stay behind you
no more in fear I’d weep

Twas in my darkest fears
I learned to hide behind
I could run to you
and there I’d have peace for my weary mind

There none could ever harm me,
in you I’d safely dwell
But now it is plain to see
you are a lonely hell

Twas for safety I had built these walls
forever there to hide
But now I see these walls I’ve built
have trapped me deep inside.

Yes, these walls they promised to protect me
to keep me safe within
But now I find within these walls
my very own prison.

A Prayer

A Prayer

When in my life’s heartaches
I’ve come to my limit
I search for the answers
that come in a minute

Please don’t delay
the pain is so great
Come now to Me Jesus
don’t make me wait.

My cries seem in vain
It seems on deaf ears
Please come to me Jesus,
please Jesus draw near.

My ears cannot hear You
nor my eyes can they see
All that You’re doing
inside of me.

No hope, no grace
no freedom from sin
No good can I find
that comes from within

I’ve tried to do it my way
only to fall
You must be my everything
or nothing at all

I so long to hear You
You’re so lowly and meek
So I’ll try to be quiet
lest You may speak
