TRUST – The Overcomer’s Road by Bro H

[Verse 1] He was a blasphemer, a persecutor, injurious to the name But the Lord found his heart trustworthy and committed to him the commission all the same The gospel of the kingdom — a deposit placed into his hands to bear Woe is unto me if I preach it not — that weight does not belong to easy ears Not uncertain riches, not the arm of flesh, not the philosophy of men The living God who raises from the dead — trust in Him, and trust again Who delivered, who doth deliver, who will yet deliver still The sentence of death was written in us so we could learn to lean on His will [Verse 2] Paul pressed beyond all measure, pressed in Asia past despair That we should not trust in ourselves but in the God who meets us there Nevertheless — the same word that held the psalmist by the right hand in the dark Settled inward certainty and leaning forward toward the mark The runner sprinting to the stronghold and the saint who holds beneath the weight Are the same posture in two languages — trust has always worn these clothes, in every age What the Old Testament said and the New confirmed in every letter through Is the same demand across all time — the full lean falls on who He is, not you [Chorus] We labour and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God Who delivered, who doth deliver, who will yet deliver us We trust and we expect — steady on what He declared Trustworthy is His character, proven, beyond despair If we endure we shall reign with Him He that overcomes shall inherit all things [Verse 3] This is a faithful saying — worthy to be staked upon without reserve If we died with Him we shall live — if we endure we shall reign, not merely survive If we prove untrustworthy yet He remains — He cannot disown Himself The covenant runs both ways and both ways it holds and does not fail The widow trusted God with nothing in her hand — no husband, no provision, no wall of her own She continued in supplications night and day — that is trust stripped down to the bone And the wealthy man exhorted — trust not in uncertain riches but the living God who gives Hold what was committed to your trust intact — that is the deposit and how the overcomer lives [Verse 4] I know where you dwell — even where the seat of the adversary is set You held fast My name and have not denied My Faith in those days, not yet But Antipas — My trustworthy witness — his character was proven by the cost Held the name in Satan's seat when every surrounding pressure said to let it be lost That is faithfulness — not a feeling, not a claim — a track record under fire The faithful remnant verified by cost, the declaration rising ever higher Hold fast — receive not those who bring not this doctrine at your door The sharp two-edged sword divides what no false teaching can restore [Verse 5] The fearful and the untrustworthy — their end is the covenant's recompense The wicked prosper in the present age — their end is terror and its full immense But the faithful are afflicted in the present age — their end is all things, all He that overcometh shall inherit all things — the Lord will be his God through it all Not one jot of what He declared has failed — not now, not in any age or place The trust placed in Him has never once been put to shame before His face I will be to them a God, they shall be to Me a people — the covenant complete He that overcomes shall inherit all things — that is the final word, that is the final beat [Outro] We labour and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God Who delivered, who doth deliver, who will yet deliver us We trust and we expect — steady on what He declared Trustworthy is His character, proven beyond despair If we endure we shall reign with Him He cannot disown Himself though we may fail again The overcomer holds the name in Satan's seat He that overcomes shall inherit all things But it is good for me to draw near to God I have put my trust in the Lord That I may declare all Thy works
