To Trust

You call us to trust you and we often say we do,
but when you asks us to we make excuses not to.
Sometimes your requests seem ridiculous,
irrational, and to be honest, outrageous.
How could you seriously ask us to do this or that
when there is no proof that it won't fall flat?
You are asking us to take a leap without a safety net,
if you don't catch us we're the ones to live with regret.

In the smaller tests we kinda trust in you,
because in those we have some control too.
We have a backup plan so we won't fail,
in case there is a need to get out of "jail".
Your word says you are trustworthy,
and we will quickly say that we agree.
However, to trust in you alone is weird,
if you don't come through we'll be jeered.

But we want to trust you,
so please show us how to.
Our pride continues to get in the way,
so teach us how to surrender everyday.
Moment by moment help us to trust,
there is no other, so in you we must.
As you asks us to trust you more,
help us to, for you are our Savior.
