In You I Trust.

“To You, Lord, I lift up my soul. My God, in You I trust, Do not let me be ashamed; Do not let my enemies rejoice over me. Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed; Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.” — Psalm 25:1-3

It’s hard to know what will shake us, until we find ourselves on the floor. What looked like stable ground has hidden cracks. What looked like steady footing can be taken from under us. News, and the absence of it, also bring uncertainty. And so it was this week.

When the promise is seen, but from afar.
When worlds are changing, but not yours.

Of Abram’s first journey to Egypt, MH exclaimed, “Alas! what will become of the willows, when the cedars are thus shaken?”

And here, if his LORD were not my LORD – if He would not keep me – I would have fallen, overcome by fear and shame.

But His God is my God.
And I know, even if the world should crumble, He remains.
In God, I trust.
And so, in Him, I stand and shall stand.

You will not abandon me
In the middle of the night when my fears have come alive
I’m not givin’ up the fight

The war is won, but it rages on
Sometimes my heart can feel so heavy
But there’s a peace inside of me
Through it all you keep me steady

Help my weary heart to sing
In the middle of the night when my fears have come alive

You are ever steady
You alone calm my soul
Bring me peace, make me whole

All my praise to Your name
You silence my every fear
Bring me rest, meet me here
All my praise go Your name
