MY GOD, I TRUST IN YOU
Lord, You had to leave the security
of home and family, twice.
You left Your Father to be a man with us,
and left Your human family to die for us.
You had to pray to Your Father:
My God, I trust in You.
My God, I trust in You.
Lord, when we leave all and follow You
and it hurts those we love,
help us to know that You have been there , too;
that no one leaves behind father, mother or loved one
but is more than rewarded in the end.
Help us to pray:
My God, I trust in You.
My God, I trust in You.
Lord, when Your cross pierces
our own desire,
and makes us call out,
let our cry be, through our pain:
My God, I trust You.
My God, I trust You.
