lyrics:
trust is like a pond of murky water
too dark to see, mysteriously under cover
i can’t - jump off the high dive even though i really want to
my toes are hanging off the ledge
trust is a tree that towers fifty feet above us
grown over time through many seasons
believing in something more than just the surface
i trust that this is worth it, but
my toes are hanging off the ledge
lord help me there’s a thorn in my side
i feel the tension in the fear and truth
i carry life in between the divide
but all the wrestling has left me bruised
how sweet the taste of certainty
the gift you gave is safe with me
hold to this - significance
& lean into the process
rest & know - the love you hold
it won’t be taken back, no
how sweet the taste of certainty
the gift you gave is safe with me
trust is like the middle of the ocean
can’t see the bottom but i'm floating here supported
i know that it can take me even deeper if i let it but
my limbs are trying to swim away
it’s like a tree that towers fifty feet above us
grown over time through many seasons
believing in something more than just the surface
i trust that this is worth it but
my toes are hanging off the ledge
hold to this - significance
& lean into the process
rest & know - the love you hold -
it won’t be taken back, no
how sweet the taste of certainty
releasing hope to carry me
how sweet the taste, never let it go, no
i see the walls that are torn & bent
a tug of war in the now not yet
holding back what they can’t contain
can you - tell me why i feel this way?
i have faith that the world i’m in
will be redeemed to its place again
but there’s a weight that i can’t explain
so tell me why i feel this way
how sweet the taste of certainty
releasing hope to carry me
moving deeper in a place of rest
seeking victory inside a death
speaking slowly when i’m out of breath
losing confidence between the steps
finding center when i’m breaking left
wasting water in a desert bed
chasing wind outside the promised land
know the story isn’t over yet
