Trust
by Gatlin Elms
there’s a bleeding scar
in each of our hearts
it finds a place to stay,
a vacant room
despite my lack of faith,
You cover me with grace
i learn to cling to You,
cling to You
when Your love shines
brighter than the daylight
when a song captivates my
every thought
when i’m lost in a
friendship driving down
dirt roads
my peace,
my rest
my joy,
my heart will be in You.
there’s a precious pain
in Your deliverance
i lost my way back home,
You led me to the road
there’s no sweeter name,
than the one You claim
the Great I Am you called
me child, You wash my feet.
when my heart falls into
a thousand pieces
when my soul feels to
weak to make a stand
when i’m lost in a valley
going down, down, down
will my peace
will my rest
will my joy
will my heart still be in
You?
disciple // (elms)
You said i would deny
You, not just one,
neither twice,
make it three times
before the rooster crows
i tried to walk on water;
i lost sight, i lost faith
then you came and pulled
me through the waves
is this the last time?
that we sit with you,
that we dine with the Lord?
is this the last time?
break the bread and drink
the wine, heal this
broken heart of mine
i could move a mountain
if i’d just believe
but these eyes, so often
cannot see
it was one day that you
told me that my life
would change, like the
day, the day that You
would die
is this the last time?
that we sit with you,
that we dine with the Lord?
is this the last time?
break the bread and drink
the wine, heal this
broken heart of mine
with You here i seem to
breathe, with You here
God i can see
with You here i’m
confident that everything
won’t go to waste,
everything we think is
ours, like the oceans and
the stars
