Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I've tried my best to sustain what You started

But my back couldn't carry the weight

So I'm tracing my steps to the moment I lost my way


I'm replacing control for surrender

In Your kindness there's joy to repent

So I turn my eyes up to the heavens where my song began


Through every season You've been my strength

And with all my heart I'll trust You, Lord

You have been faithful and You've been my song

With all my heart I'll praise You, Lord


I've got scars on my feet from the miles

I've seen trouble but I've seen revival

I've seen peace overcoming the chaos with just one word


And I have walked through the valley of shadows

And sang my way through the darkest of nights

I've held onto Your every word and I will survive


Oh and through every season You've been my strength

And with all my heart I'll trust You, Lord

'Cause You have been faithful, You've been my song

And with all my heart I'll praise You, Lord

With all my heart I'll praise You, Lord


Hey


All You want is the simple

All You want is an honest song of praise

All You want is communion

So I'm done over-complicating things


All You want is the simple

All You want is an honest song of praise

All You want is communion

So I'm done over-complicating things


Through every season You've been my strength

And with all my heart I'll trust You, Lord

You have been faithful and You've been my song

With all my heart I'll praise You, Lord


Oh through every season You've been my strength

With all my heart I'll trust You, Lord

You have been faithful, You've been my song

And with all my heart I'll praise You, Lord

With all my heart I'll trust You, Lord


Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey

With my future, oh I'll trust You, Lord

With my family I'll trust You, Lord

And with my children I'll trust You, Lord

Hey-ey-ey, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

I will trust You, Lord
