Trust Me

Lyrics by Candice Lee
Music by Sebastian Kwan
Arrangement & Vocal Parts by Wu Zhi Zhen
Main Vocal by Samuel Kwan

Aladdin scaled down the walls
Of the Arabian palace
To the top tower of Jasmine’s room
On a magic carpet he offered his hand
But as she was afraid
To take this strange ride
And to step out of her palace walls
He asked the princess he adores

Chorus:
Trust me, do you trust me?
I can free you from these walls
And show you a whole new world
If you trust me, do you trust me?
I can open up your eyes
To see the indescribable
If you just take my hand, & trust me

The King of kings is waiting at my balcony
Patiently knocking on my door
On His carpet embroidered
With love & faith
He offers His hand
But as I am afraid
To step out of my comfort zone
He asks the children He adores

The Story of How This Song Came About:
I was inspired by Steven Curtis Chapman, a Christian song writer who uses history and brilliant imageries to describe the experiences of his relationship with God. Being a fan of Aladdin, I tried to think of a connection. I realized in my relationship with God, trust (or faith) is one thing that I find very difficult to have at times. In fact, besides love, I think this is the most important ingredient for all relationship. Without trust, a relationship cannot be taken to a deeper level just like without the magic carpet, Aladdin cannot show Jasmine his world. I knew it was something God was constantly drilling into me. I could see from my experiences that this was a lesson God wants me to learn. Some day, I hope to be able to say that I have a faith that can move mountains (Matthew 17:20).
Ok, cs still finds it important to continue to trust His Father after close to 7 years of following HIM. Need to listen to this song for at least 100 times daily!
