I WILL TRUST IN YOU LORD
You did not create me to worry
You did not create me to fear
But You created me to worship daily
So Ima leave it all right here
My hands are raised because I surrender
Your will is what's best for me
I worship You because You're Jehovah Jireh
I bow before the King of Kings
No more crying no more complaining
I believe Your word is true
Lord You promised never to leave me lonely
So this is what I'm going to do
Chorus
I will trust in You Lord
I will trust in You Lord
I will put my trust in You
