ABOUT “TRUST”
This album started off as just a single.
Sometime last year, I was studying Ps. 20:7, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” (NIV) and God was showing me how this verse is so relevant even in our present generation. God has been taking me though the significance of “Chariots” and “Horses”, and how easy it is to trust in them than in Him! And it’s so easy to read this verse and just move on like it doesn’t apply to us, after all no one is riding horses and chariots on a day-to-day basis.
Chariots
Chariot is like an abode, a shield, a shelter, essentially the life we have built for ourselves! How easy it is to trust in our own wisdom, experience, prowess and achievements.
Horses
One thing peculiar about horses is their speed and God was teaching me how easy it is for us in this time and generation to ignore the PROCESS! We want things done quickly, faster, nobody is willing to wait on God, in fact we think God is too slow and his timing does not work with ours!
These are some of the things God was revealing to me in my closet, and I started writing the song “Trust” literally from this verse.
But then as I continued in this verse, God started giving me more songs, a few of them I had already released as a single, but all of a sudden 1song became 5songs, I thought I would release an EP at some point… but 5 songs became 8songs!!! And here we are, a FULL ALBUM!
This album is one of my best projects so far! And from the verse I just talked about, every single song is a reminder to ALWAYS put our TRUST in Jesus! Every single song points back to God!! And my sincere prayer is that as many people that listen to this song, they will experience God in a new way and be encouraged to put their TRUST in nothing else, no chariots, no horses, no man, but JESUS!!
I am truly grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to write these songs and excited to share with the world.
This project is not complete without acknowledging the amazing men and women of God that have been a HUGE part of this. These are men and women God placed on my heart specifically to be a part and I am so grateful for the life they added to this project!
