Discovering Trust in ‘Trust You Again’ by Rolling Hills Worship

In the journey of faith, few themes are as foundational and challenging as trust. Trusting in God’s higher ways, especially amid life’s uncertainties, can often test the very core of our beliefs. In our latest episode of ‘Lyric and Letter,’ we delve into this profound theme through the worship song “Trust You Again” by Rolling Hills Worship, which beautifully encapsulates the essence of leaning into God’s wisdom and the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Call to Deeper Intimacy:

The song begins with a powerful invocation, “Jesus, You’re calling, I hear You knocking.” This line echoes Revelation 3:20, where Jesus stands at the door and knocks, inviting us into a deeper relationship with Him. This knocking is not a one-time event but a continuous invitation to open our hearts and trust Him more fully. It’s a reminder that Jesus desires a close, intimate relationship with us, where we share our deepest fears and highest hopes.

Guided by the Holy Spirit:

One of the most compelling aspects of “Trust You Again” is its emphasis on the Holy Spirit’s active role in our lives. “Spirit, You’re moving and I want to follow,” the song proclaims, highlighting our need to be attentive to the Spirit’s guidance. The Holy Spirit is often depicted as a gentle whisper, guiding us through life’s complexities, bringing order out of chaos, and leading us into truth (John 16:13). This imagery is reminiscent of Genesis 1:2, where the Spirit of God hovers over the waters, bringing life and order.

Embracing God’s Higher Ways:

The chorus declares, “Your ways are higher than my own, beyond anything I’ve ever known. Over and over and over You give reason to trust You again and again.” This reflects Isaiah 55:9, where God’s thoughts and ways are described as higher than ours. Trusting in these higher ways requires us to surrender our understanding and lean into God’s infinite wisdom, acknowledging that His plans for us are good, even when they are beyond our comprehension.

Personal Reflections:

Reflecting on personal experiences can deepen our understanding of these themes. Back in 2008, I felt a strong prompting from the Holy Spirit to sell our house, despite it making no sense at the time. Following that prompting led to unforeseen blessings and protection from financial disaster. This personal testimony underscores the importance of heeding the Holy Spirit’s guidance, trusting that He sees the bigger picture and leads us for our ultimate good.

Morning After Morning:

The bridge of the song repeats, “Morning after morning, You have always loved and You always will. You’re so faithful, I’m so grateful. You have never failed and You never will.” This resonates deeply with the promise of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness, as found in Lamentations 3:22-23, where His mercies are described as new every morning. It is a powerful reminder that God’s love is unwavering, His faithfulness is constant, and He is with us through every trial and triumph.

Conclusion:

“Trust You Again” by Rolling Hills Worship is a poignant reminder of the centrality of trust in our faith journey. It calls us to lean into God’s higher ways and to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance with confidence. As we navigate the complexities of life, let us hold onto these truths, knowing that God’s love and faithfulness are unchanging, and His Spirit is ever-present, guiding us toward His perfect will.
