This week I’d like to share a few songs with you that I’ve been enjoying recently. These songs are diverse in musical style (I know musical tastes are different, so I won’t be offended if you don’t prefer them) yet all of them share the theme of trusting God. Trust is not always easy, especially when God’s ways and times are different than what we want or expect. These songs have encouraged me as I’ve waited for the Lord. Maybe they could encourage you, too.  

This song has a lot going for it. The melody is gorgeous and so are the words, which are based on Ecclesiastes 3:11. What more could you want?

Maybe I love this song because I love poetry, but maybe it’s also just a brilliant song. The imagery is powerful: “I am his poetry, he won’t waste a word.” You don’t have to take my word for it, though:

“Take your time” is a hard thing to say to God while you’re waiting for his provision, but Joseph O’Brien is exactly right. He makes it sound great, too. 

I’ve known of this artist longer than the rest. In fact, I’ve looked up to him my whole life—he’s my older brother. Tim has consistently shown me what it means to live a life of faithful love for the Lord and for others. He’s also an excellent musician who recently released his first album, including this song about steady trust:

I don’t know why the title is all caps. It doesn’t matter. Just wait until the chorus kicks in. 

I hope you enjoyed these songs. Are there any you would add to the list? I’d love to hear them!
