Trust His Heart

By Babbie Mason

Lyrics

1. All things work for our good
Though sometimes we don't see how they could
Struggles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him
Remember you're never alone

Chorus:
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

2. He sees the master plan
And He holds our future in His hand
So don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
But He sees the first and the last
And like a tapestry, He's weaving you and me
To someday be just like Him

Bridge
He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what is best for you
Chorus

Conclusion
When you don't understand
When you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart
Trust His heart

About This Hymn

“Trust His Heart” is a contemporary hymn written by gospel singer Babbie Mason and songwriter Eddie Carswell in 1989. The inspiration for the lyrics stems from a quote often attributed to Charles Spurgeon: “When you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.” The hymn delivers a strong message of faith and trust in God’s character even when His ways are not fully understood. Built around the truths found in Romans 8:28 (“All things work together for good to them that love God…”) and Proverbs 3:5–6 (“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…”), it emphasizes God’s goodness, wisdom, and sovereign control in the believer’s life.

This hymn became popular for its soothing reassurance during trials and is often sung in moments of grief, decision-making, or uncertainty. Its powerful refrain reminds believers that while God’s plans may not always be visible, His heart can always be trusted:
“God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind… When you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan, when you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.” This song remains a modern devotional anthem, strengthening the faith of many through its simple but profound message.
