Trust His Heart

“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.
