Have you ever needed a miracle? Have you ever asked God over and over again for that miracle? And are you still waiting?

Earlier this month I was praying, crying out to God, for the same miracle I was praying for five years ago. God still hasn’t answered, but something happened while I prayed; I felt faith rise up in me. I could feel the substance of faith filling me. At the same time, doubt was falling away. It was like the sun was coming up on a cold morning. The break of dawn allows us to see what darkness hides in shadow and the heat of the sun slowly warms the skin, waking us up to a new morning.

This song was written out of that experience. It is the prayer of my heart. Even though I haven’t seen the miracle, even though I’m still waiting on the answer, “Again I will trust in you.”

Again I Will

Lyrics

Let faith arise like the sun reveals the goodness of the morning
Let it fill my life and teach my eyes to believe for what I can’t yet see
My confidence is built on the evidence of your faithfulness to me
May I never forget to remember your name, you are Emmanuel, and with me you dwell

Again I will trust in you
Again I will lean into the truth
That your ways are higher and better than mine
Again I will rest in you
Again I will praise you through
All the things I just can’t understand in this life

Let suffering produce in me dependency, let it draw me into your arms
Let doubt and fear fall way, far away, as you pull me near as you let me know your heart
In my weakness I have known your goodness, you have shown me your grace, unmerited favor
Let your truth come alive in me, you love be my reality, your mercy, let it cover me forever

Again I will trust in you
Again I will lean into the truth
That your ways are higher and better than mine
Again I will rest in you
Again I will praise you through
All the things I just can’t understand in this life

You are here
And you care
You save every tear
And you hear every prayer
