Morning By Morning (I Will Trust)

As we delve into the lyrics of Pat Barrett's "Morning By Morning (I Will Trust)", we are reminded of the beautiful promise found in Lamentations 3:22-23, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." The song echoes this sentiment, reminding us of God's unending mercy and faithfulness that greets us each morning.

The song begins with a daily surrender, a recognition of our need for God's grace. This mirrors the sentiment in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The lyrics, "I will trust where You lead, I will trust when I can't see," beautifully encapsulate this verse, emphasizing our need to trust God, even when we can't see the path ahead.

The song also speaks of being "overtaken by wonder" and finding "strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow." This resonates with Isaiah 40:31, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." The lyrics remind us that our hope and strength come from God, and that His faithfulness is a constant source of renewal.

The bridge of the song is a powerful declaration against fear, affirming that our future is secure because our Father has spoken and He keeps His every word. This echoes the promise in Deuteronomy 31:8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

As we reflect on the lyrics of this song and the corresponding Bible verses, we are reminded of God's unending faithfulness and mercy. We are encouraged to trust Him, even when we can't see the path ahead, and to find strength and hope in His promises.

So, let's ponder this: How can we live out this trust in God in our daily lives? How can we surrender our fears and uncertainties to Him, trusting in His faithfulness and mercy? How can we awaken our souls to sing of His goodness, morning by morning? Let's take these questions into our hearts and allow them to shape our faith and our daily walk with God.
