Song Description
"I Don't Even Trust Me" is a song about surrendering to God after realizing the limits of self-reliance. It speaks to the struggles of trying to navigate life alone, only to discover that true strength and direction come from trusting in the Lord.
The verses paint a picture of someone who has fought, stumbled, and wandered, believing they could find their own way, only to be met with failure and emptiness. The chorus is a powerful declaration of surrender--handing over everything, past and present, to God. The bridge adds emotional depth, reflecting on years of mistakes and broken dreams before finally being found by God's grace.
This song is a testimony of humility, redemption, and faith--acknowledging that without God's guidance, we are lost. It's a cry of surrender, a song of trust, and a reminder that Jesus is the only true way.

Lyrics
I Don't Even Trust Me
Verse 1:
Even if You gave me strength to stand alone,
I'd still bow before Your throne.
Even if You placed the world into my hands,
Lord, I'd still let You take command.
Chorus:
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Verse 2:
'Cause I can't even trust myself,
Not with my own soul.
I have fallen short of Your glory, Lord--
I won't trust myself with my own life.
Chorus:
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Bridge:
I fought and stumbled, thought my heart was strong,
Took the road of my choosing, but I got it wrong.
For a decade, I wandered, chasing empty dreams,
Till You found me in the wreckage, drowning in the stream.
Chorus:
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Take it all, take my heart, Lord, heal my past.
Have it all, Lord, take what's left.
Verse 3:
I have walked through the fire, thinking I knew the way,
Held the map tight in my trembling hands.
Who will point me in the right direction?
I lost my course in the darkness; from the start, I lost my way.
I give up, Lord--I surrender. Oh, Messiah, You are the way. *Chorus*
