“TRUSTING”

There’s a freedom in trusting God. Unafraid to face the unknown; Being able to love those He’s given But knowing we have to let go. We learn to let go, In spite of our fears; We grow to new life But trusting in God. There’s strength to be gained by our failings, Courage to see through the pain, Growth is found only through the risking; We stumble, yet faith shows the way. We learn to let go, In spite of our fears; We grow to new life By trusting in God
