Will we trust Him in the dark
When the tunnel we travel through,
Shows no sign of ever ending
And we’re despondent in all we do?
Will we trust Him in our burrow
That we’ve dug for refuge too,
Where tomorrow seems so distant
Or where hope is not renewed?
In the dark soil of our heart
Our Gardener is there,
To restore, sow and to fertilize
With His tender loving care.
It’s in our recess where the light comes in;
In our cracks and broken ways,
To heal, reform and to reconnect
With a hope that will remain.
Will we fear in the dark
Or will we learn to fear Him?
Knowing that His light sustains us
And will cleanse our sin within.
Will we trust Him in the dark?
Because if we truly and sincerely can,
Then we’ll trust Him every other time
Although we may not understand.
His ways are bigger and higher
And the big picture may be obscured,
But His promises will be revealed
As we’re shown to endure.
It’s never easy in the dark
Because we question why we’re there,
And for how long we’ll be stuck in the pit
And if whether someone cares.
But Almighty finds us in the dirt
Within the miry clay,
Because that’s the only place we can be found
So we can clearly see His ways.
He will give us a new heart
So His statutes we obey,
And deposit His Spirit deep within
When we’re repentant of our ways.
Will we trust Him in the dark
Knowing that He’s always there?
Since His mercy and His grace will shine
When we leave all in His care.
