This week’s featured song story comes to us from Joel Vaughn. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “If I Trust In You,” a song about stepping out in faith in spite of our fear and trusting Jesus no matter what.
“How many times have we stepped out in faith in spite of our fear when Jesus called us to follow him? Sometimes we feel like we’re sinking like Peter did when he stepped out onto the water when Jesus called him. But Jesus reached out and saved Peter when he sank. This song is a reminder to everyone who feels like they are sinking, that we can put our faith and trust fully in Jesus. He will save us and we can absolutely trust in him.” – Joel Vaughn

“If I Trust In You” Lyrics
Can I trust you with all my tears,
with all of my hope and all of fears,
Can I trust you with all of this pain,
the beat of my heart the blood in my veins,
And oh….
I’m barely hanging on
Will your arms reach out to rescue me
And pull me from the violent sea
If I trust in you? If I trust in you?
Will the hands that shaped eternity
Restore the light inside of me
If I trust in you? If I trust in You?
Can I give you the rest of my life
The best that I am
The sacrifice
Can I give you the last of my doubts
Will my faith hold up or will it drop out
Cause oh,
I’m barely hanging on
Afraid that I will fall apart
I’m under fire over and over again
But you pursue with all your heart
I’ll learn to trust you over and over again
