RESTING IN YOUR PROMISE
I will rest within the knowledge that You care
I put my trust in You
Deep within the darkness
Though my enemies surround I will not fear
I put my trust in You
And when I don’t know what to do
I will fix my eyes on You
You’re my defender
I hide my hope in You
You are the loving arms my broken heart can run to
I will remember
That there is nothing You can’t do
For You are God
You are good
And I surrender
You’re my defender
You are strong when I am weakest
You’re the peace that passes everything I see
I put my trust in You
I’m surrendering completely
Laying all my cares here at Your feet
I put my trust in You
A mighty fortress is our God
I will not fear
I will not fear
Safe and secure here in Your love
I will not fear
I will not fear
