“Trust” by Sanctus Real

A fellow blogger, Abby, sent me the link to a blog written by the lead singer from Sanctus Real and his wife.  Matthew and his wife are pregnant with a baby with a rare congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.  It is amazing to read through their blog and to see their faith and trust in the Lord even in their time of the unknown.  They believe that their “boy was knit perfectly together in [her] womb (Psalm 139:13) and that God intended him to be this way with a specific purpose in mind.”  I love that perspective because I also believe that about our little baby.  God knit our little one together and for reasons that we might not know until we get to Heaven allowed this specific child to go on to Heaven to be with Him.  But He still has a purpose for our little one even though he or she never made it to experience this life.  We can already see the Lord working through this situation and know that He has big plans up His sleeve.  :)  The below song is a song that Matthew has written in the face of their unknown.

Trust

Lest I’m tempted to forget
I’ll tie Your love around my neck
I’ll write Your words upon my heart
Lord, I won’t forget how good You are

I’ll dwell upon Your faithfulness
I’ll rest within Your promises
And when I’m walking through the dark
Lord, I won’t forget how good You are

I will trust, I will trust You
I will trust You Lord with all my heart
And I won’t forget how good You are
No, I won’t forget how good You are

You gave me everything I have
My whole life is in Your hands
When what I fear is closing in
Lord, Your faithfulness will never end

I will trust, I will trust You
I will trust You Lord with all my heart
And I won’t forget how good You are
No, I won’t forget how good You are

Even in the darkness, even in the questions
Even when the hardest times of life are at hand
Even in darkness, even in questions
Even in the times that I’m not meant to understand

I will trust.

 

You can listen to this song here.

The song is based on Proverbs 3:3-6.  “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck,  write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
