[Verse 1] I learned to smile and hide my pain Call every loss a hidden gain I spoke of peace but would not grieve Said “I’m okay” so I’d believe [Pre-Chorus] If joy can’t face reality (reality) If light avoids sincerity (sincerity) Then I’m not walking in the truth I’m just defending what I choose [Chorus] Though the fig tree does not blossom And no fruit is on the vine Though the fields are bare and empty And the herds and flocks decline Yet I choose to trust the Lord Yet my joy is found in Him I will sing of God my Savior My joy is Yours through all of time [Verse 2] I said the storm was never there (never there) Ignored the signs, refused the prayer (refused the prayer) I named all warning voices fear And called my blindness “peace” and “clear” [Pre-Chorus] If joy can’t face reality (reality) If light avoids sincerity (sincerity) Then I’m not walking in the truth I’m just defending what I choose [Chorus] Though the fig tree does not blossom And no fruit is on the vine Though the fields are bare and empty And the herds and flocks decline Yet I choose to trust the Lord Yet my joy is found in Him I will sing of God my Savior My joy is Yours through all of time [Adlibs] [Bridge] If your hope cannot survive unanswered prayers It was never hope—it was fantasy If it only lives when heaven moves It’s not faith, it’s certainty If your hope cannot survive unanswered prayers It was never hope—it was fantasy True hope stays when heaven’s silent And still says, “Lord, I trust You—steadily” [Chorus] Though the fig tree does not blossom And no fruit is on the vine Though the fields are bare and empty And the herds and flocks decline Yet I choose to trust the Lord Yet my joy is found in Him I will sing of God my Savior My joy is Yours through all of time [Tag] Still I trust You Still I trust You Still I trust You, Lord Still I trust You Still I trust You Still I trust You, Lord [Final Chorus] Though the fig tree does not blossom And no fruit is on the vine Though the fields are bare and empty And the herds and flocks decline Yet I choose to trust the Lord Yet my joy is found in Him I will sing of God my Savior My joy is Yours through all of time [Coda] I will sing of God my Savior My joy is Yours through all of time
