Emmanuel Songsore has just released a beautiful piano cover of "Trust in God" by Elevation Worship. As we're used to by now from Emmanuel, this cover is also filled with a delicate touch that adds to the powerful message of the original song. As I listen, the lyrics come to mind, and I am reminded to have confidence in God's promises: "I trust in God, my Savior, the one who will never fail."
In the backstory, Emmanuel shares that he played this at the wedding of his twin friends' mother. He accompanied the twins on piano while they sang. Their mother was getting married again after the passing of their father. They spent countless years praying that God would bless her with a husband, and it had seemed like it would never happen. When God answered their prayer in this manner, they were filled with tears of joy.
This special occasion inspired Emmanuel to reflect on the power of trusting God, even when it seems to take ages before prayers are answered. The song reminded Emmanuel of Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding."
Beyond this personal backstory, the song is so beautifully played, including subtle variations that are becoming Emamanuel's signature in these covers.
May this song encourage you to lean fully into God's guidance and accept that He has a plan that gives your life a special purpose. This song is a faith-booster and one that truly worth listening to. Enjoy!
