Description
The echoing darkness always seems endless, but somewhere inside it, warmth breaks through - the very thing that keeps you from drowning and falling completely. It's as if, at the most critical moment, someone's hand appears, ready to pull you out of the water, make you breathe and remember: storms pass, even if it seems impossible to endure them.
There is no pathos here - just a simple, stubborn ‘I won't let go.’ It sounds like a vow, like a bonfire in the middle of a blizzard. Yes, you have to wait out the storm, yes, sometimes everything collapses and you have no strength left, but there is this pulsating warmth nearby. With it, even hell turns not into a dead end, but into a road that will sooner or later lead to the light.

Lyrics and translation
Original
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in
Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, but His smile quickly drives it away.
Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear, can abide while we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil He doth richly repay.
Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
But we never can prove the delights of His love until on the altar we lay.
All the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows, are for them who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, or we'll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends we will go; never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in
Jesus, but to trust and obey.
