Elevation Worship, Trust In God | Music Lifts 🎶 🏋

In the 26th edition of Music Lifts (2024), contemporary worship band Elevation Worship uplifts us with “Trust in God.”

Welcome to Music Lifts 🎶 🏋, a column highlighting songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs exuding fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 26^th edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2024), we highlight “Trust in God” as performed by Elevation Worship featuring Chris Brown.

“‘Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine’ / He’s been my fourth man in the fire time after time.” The soul-stirring, contemporary Christian song, “Trust in God” begins by quoting a beloved hymn.  From there, this gem from contemporary worship band, Elevation Worship (out of Elevation Church) and Chris Brown (not the R&B artist) reference Daniel 3:24-26, where King Nebuchadnezzar is amazed to see the three men thrown in the fire, unharmed, as well as a fourth, described as a divine being – a son of the gods. After quoting “Blessed Assurance” once more, Brown, who leads, testifies, “And what He did on Calvary is more than enough.” And because of His awesomeness, Brown proclaims in the tuneful, rousing chorus, “I trust in God, my Savior / The One who will never fail / He will never fail.” Amen!

That’s merely one verse and the chorus of “Trust in God,” written by Brown, Brandon Lake, Steven Furtick, and Mitch Wong.  From the beginning, “Trust in God” speaks to God’s awesomeness, goodness, and mercifulness. It ministers why He should be lauded and magnified – He is great! In the second verse, Brown testifies more, describing God as “the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps.” Hallelujah! In the bridge, Elevation Worship lauds Him even more: “I sought the Lord and He heard, and He answered / That’s why I trust him, that’s why I trust him.” “Trust in God” is a powerful, powerful song. Sometimes contemporary Christian music doesn’t rouse me as much as gospel (personal preference), but the moment I heard this song, it truly encouraged my heart and soul. Trust in God; “He will never fail!”
