Song

Still I Will Trust Youby Brooklyn Tabernacle Choirfrom CD: Favorite Song Of AllWords and music by Vonnie Ewing Lopez

Still I Will Trust YouI've climbed a mountain, I've walked a valley lowAnd there's a hand guiding me where go toSo I will not qustion when storm clouds come my wayfor I have placed my trust in You and You alone

Still I Will Trust YouChorusStill I will trust YouStill I will followStill I will listen to Your every callingWhile the storm rages on and I can't find my wayStill I will trust You Lord

Still I Will Trust YouWhen in my dark hourYou restored my weary soulYou led me to that resting place and made me wholeNow I cannot question Though stormy billows rollMy faith is secure, safe is my trust in You alone

Still I Will Trust YouChorusStill I will trust YouStill I will followStill I will listen to Your every callingWhile the storm rages on and I can't find my wayStill I will trust You Lord

Job 19
