"Yet I Will Trust..."

3/9/2017

Comments

 
Here's the latest song I've been working on, inspired by the journey of a friend. I sang it at church as part of this morning's service. (I stole the verses from an old hymn that I've never known by George Washburn Lyon, which is now in the public domain, and there's an accompanying tune which will be shared at some point.)
It's one thing to be able to sing or even write something like this, it's another to live it out. I've been reading Mike's story, praying for him and chatting with him over the last year from a distance. It's been a number of years since we were close, but his faith and journey has spoken volumes through his life.
​

Recently Mike was greeted with a new home and welcome by His "Father with sweet smiling face", with an embrace that said "Well done, faithful one".

This one's for you buddy. Rest well.

Yet I will Trust:

Verse 1:
There’s light in the valley of shadows
No longer the darkness I fear
For Jesus is reigning in glory
My strength and my light ever near
There’s hope for the sad and despondent
Who suffer in silence alone
Amidst their confusion and sorrow
O’ercome by the weight of their gloom

Pre-Chorus:
Through the fire, and through the rain
Though I walk the darkest vale

Chorus:
Yet I will trust in you
Yes I will trust in you

Verse 2:
There’s joy for the wayward and lonely
Afar from their own native place
A home and a welcome are waiting
A Father with sweet smiling face
There’s comfort and help for the dying
A rod and a staff for the way
A guide who securely will lead them
To realms of the glorious day

Bridge:
There is hope in the name of Jesus
There is hope in the promise of new life
You're my hope, my rock and my salvation
There is hope in you, my God and King

​End Chorus:
Yes I will trust in you
Yes I will trust in you
