More Trust

O God, why can’t I put more trust in You?
I kinda sorta trust You off and on,
I do believe that all You say is true,
yet when I must, the trust is often gone.

You said, Lord, “Ask the Father in My name
and He will do it,” answering our prayer,
I find it hard to trust in all You claim,
and yet I do believe You really care.

I should put trust in One Who walks on water,
St. Peter did and found that he could stand
on water ‘til his trust began to totter,
yet he was saved when he reached for Your hand.

You trusted me, Lord, when You made me free,
let me trust You Who put Your trust in me.
