Lyrics
Verse 1
I will trust my saviour Jesus,
When my darkest doubts befall
Trust Him when to simply trust Him
Seems the hardest thing of all
Verse 2
I will trust my saviour Jesus
Trust Him when my strength is small
For I know the shield of Jesus,
Is the safest place of all
Chorus
Jesus, only Jesus
Help me trust you more and more
Jesus, only Jesus
May my heart be ever yours
Verse 3
I will trust my saviour Jesus
He has said His way is best
And I know the path He’s chosen
Leads to everlasting rest
Chorus
Jesus, only Jesus
Help me trust you more and more
Jesus, only Jesus
May my heart be ever yours
Bridge
Oh on that cross, how it was seen
I can go now ever trusting in the one who died for
What could I bring, for your gift is complete
I trust You, simply trust You, Lord with every part of me
Chorus
Jesus, only Jesus
Help me trust you more and more
Jesus, only Jesus
May my heart be ever yours
Verse 4
I will trust my Saviour Jesus
Every hour of my life
As I journey home to see Him
He will never leave my side
Behind the Hymn
"I Will Trust My Saviour Jesus" is a contemporary hymn written by Jaywan Maxwell, Tiarne Tranter, Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson, and Lucy A. Bennett for CityAlight, a worship ministry of St Paul's Castle Hill Anglican Church in Sydney, Australia. CityAlight has become known for producing doctrinally rich, congregation-friendly hymns that bridge the gap between traditional hymnody and modern worship music. This hymn is a declaration of steadfast trust in Christ through every season of life — echoing the covenant language of the Psalms and the New Testament promises of God's faithfulness. The writers crafted it to be singable by ordinary congregations rather than requiring a professional worship band, reflecting CityAlight's philosophy that church music should serve the gathered body of believers. Its simple, repeating structure makes it easy to learn and memorize, while its theological depth gives it lasting substance. The hymn has quickly spread through Reformed and evangelical churches worldwide since its release.
