Twila Paris - Warrior is a Child / Do I Trust You

[@randyanglin]

There just aren't many Christian artists to compare with Twila. Blessings just pour out of my stereo speakers, computer speakers, car speakers....doesn't matter..lol....when I listen to this anointed music. She's simply one of the best. What an incredible concert video!

[@theenragedklingon5099]

I saw Twila open for Leon Patlla in 1985 in Lancaster, PA. She was brand new and pretty much unheard of. When she was done, she was called back for 2 curtains calls! We were having church and didn’t want it to end, neither did Leon! Still one of the the best concerts (I use that term loosely now) I’ve ever attended.

[@jsharp1701]

I love this version even more than the original. And I loved it then! Twila is in the top tier of Christian songwriters of the past 30 years. I'd place her in the same company as Keith Green, Michael Card, Rich Mullins, and Margaret Becker without batting an eye. Writers know she never got the respect she deserved because of the cookie-cutter production of her '80s albums. But the songs are SO powerful out from under all that filler. Also, I've met her, and she's just a great lady.

[@hannahanzano21]

Sino po ang original singer?

[@ocdadd3775]

Just revisited this after years while going through a struggle; the Lord definitely called me to sing the words from my heart which I did. Thank you Lord Jesus for always being a comfort in the storm. I will trust You, Lord, when I don't know why. I will trust You, Lord, till the day I die. I will trust You, Lord, when I'm blind with pain! You were God before, and You'll never change. I will trust You. I will trust You. I will trust You, Lord

[@Drummershead]

Still one of the best Christian songs ever. Twila is a gifted song writer.

[@brendongeorge73]

I love song 🎵

[@marknagy4779]

So true.

[@thekingsgate1]

Twila... if you ever happen to read this...... thank you! thank you! thank you! You have been such a blessing to so many weary souls!

[@CS-pb8og]

My daughter used to listen to The warrior is a child when she was dying of cancer. It was her favorite song.

[@nxtbeat]

The warrior in us will always remain a child. We have our own battles in life, but God is the Commander of the Army and all we have to do is to get back to Him, refresh and return, and show the world what God's warriors are made of. Thanks for the music Ms. Twila Paris.

[@angelrenie]

I am crying right now!! I just love listening to these songs...especially now I am in the middle of a deadly disease...I know HE will always be my strength. HE is the only one who can and will save me and give me life...I WILL TRUST YOU LORD...

[@CoachT4u]

❤❤❤

[@speedyyy5181]

Hello. I hope you are ok! God bless.

[@robweber7325]

God bless you.

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Thank God the Lord moved me to the bible belt after I got saved at 17 in my hometown. I was blessed to have amazing sound biblical teachers and amazing music from gifted artists like Twilia Paris. I wish Christian radio stations would play all the amazing artists from this time period. Thank you Father God for our faithful families of faith everywhere.

[@jamesgunther3201]

Right? I think that KLOVE used to. I get KLOVE here in the Columbia SC area. They have stations everywhere but it's the same songs on repeat. KLOVE did bring back some of the older Christian music on a special week, they heavily promoted it. Anyway I used to live in Joplin Missouri, they were a church going town, one of the church organizations runs Ozark Christian College that used to operate Christian music station KOBC, and they played all the music that we don't hear no more. Great Christian station at one time. It ran for more than a decade, but it appears that KLOVE took over that station. I just checked online.

[@missstarwars]

I grew up listening to Twila. And after all these years this song still gives me goosebumps and I get all misty eyed :)

[@grdnlee9]

I remember seeing Twila Paris do this song in a concert. It still gives me HOPE for a better today and tomorrow.

[@CyndiMccambridge]

I was Blessed to have Twila Paris at our church in Tampa 80’s. She is AMAZING!!

[@PaulaWordCrafts]

Our adult daughter had something happen yesterday that left her devastated. This song came on my Pandora station and I knew she needed to hear it.

[@UdoShan]

For a long time, I wasn't a fan of Twila's, (nothing personal, she just wasn't my cup of tea) but NOW I'm convinced of her amazing talent and her music! Oh, and her backing vocalist is simply AMAZING!!!

[@migbox]

When I heard this song over 20 years ago, I identify with it immediately... I still do... Gracias Twila, my favorite song writer...

[@grdnlee9]

This song reminds me everyday that even though I'm an adult on earth, I'm still a child in the eyes of our Lord and saviour. He begs us to come to HIM with every problem we have - big or small. I love you Lord!! Thank you for allowing me to live freely and without fear whenever and wherever I want to worship.

[@cainengr]

I really like the 2nd part of this medley. The song, "Do I Trust You" has been a true blessing for me over these last 5 years or so....This gifted artist's voice and piano are a sweet aroma to the King.

[@brendongeorge73]

I love song i love song 🎶

[@tallfreakchris]

The ending with "Do I Trust You" is my favorite part. Such passion!

[@daelds]

Twila Paris is very talented child of God... keep it up! God Bless to you. You're a God choosen to HIs people to incourage, when it comes on the hard times.

[@kronisawsome]

I've loved this song since I first heard it 20 years ago. My mother passed away a few months ago and I had not been able to shed a single tear until I listened to this. I posted it on facebook and it also brought comfort to other women who have lost thier mothers. It really hit a spot with me about having to be the new matriarch of the family yet while dealing with my own loss. Thank you Twila.

[@nancygreen8186]

The song is so true. Sometimes we fight against those who are led by the spirit of Satan and sometimes we feel bullied Yet I know GOD is faithful and my father love me through it all. Jesus is my Lord ❤

[@joyfulminstrel17]

I love Twila! I sang this song at our church 6 yrs ago, and can still remember the emotions. I almost broke down in tears because I can totally relate to the message. Needless to say, I wasnt the only one in tears that day. The whole congregation joined me.. =]

[@godsmanforsure]

Twila is such a blessing I praise God 4 her. This song has saved my heart from braking and me from shipwrecking.

[@BobMarshall1952]

So sad that I never hear Twila any more on the Christian radio stations in my area. Nor Sandi Patty. One of my most riveting memories is seeing Twila in concert about a week after the 9/11 tragedy. She closed her concert by saying a few words about the tragedy, and then singing "God Is In Control". Everyone left feeling a little bit better. You had to be there, I can't put it into words.

[@cutesybunny3360]

❤️🙏

[@hoosierdaddy9277]

I agree and wish they would put songs like this on the stations

[@NoahZaCat]

I once heard her on 91.3 FM The Fix for Saturday Morning Rewind

[@brendajohnson8351]

I forgot all about this song until I came across it tonight. I would sing this song so many times during my marriage and raising the beautiful daughters the Lord blessed me with. THANK YOU LORD! I remember! Praise His Name!

[@beverleybrangman2191]

2 very beautiful songs to encourage and comfort us, Twila Paris has touched my heart for years. I have her CD’s, thank you

[@twilafan]

One more thing about Twila's name recognition (or lack thereof). She may not have gotten the same success in selling albums as some other big names but what she lacks in record sales she makes up in prominence in hymnals.

[@derekhalford187]

Another inspirational Christian artist I listened too in the 80's. So wonderful and soothing.

[@ahouse857]

This woman blesses me just about everytime I listen to her music. Thank you Lord for using Twila to minister to me!

[@bcbudd5150]

She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard

[@keythdanielsen8316]

Chris Gallina She sings from the heart and composes most of her music.

[@brendongeorge73]

I love song 🎵

[@shelleyvanhoy745]

I remember this song from 30 years ago - it still brings tears. Recently part of the body of Christ has needed much encouragement and I've looked for the sheet music everywhere so it could be performed to lift them up. Still looking...

[@ditzpangilinan]

These are two of the first songs I learned when I became a Christian. Thank you for posting. God bless you greatly, and God continue to bless Twila Paris!

[@danielwilliams6380]

still get chills after so many years, didn't realize that she had been around for a while

[@redcolbay]

very inspiring. regardless of our age we all have the "childness" in us. Our God is awesome, who is always ready to pick us up.

[@ultraviolet6658]

To all our Frontliners on the field, thank you for your service.

[@giovannisocci8793]

Poor blessed Twila...I can t imagine the pain she goes thru,her insecurities and fears must be many...the source of this beautiful music.

[@donnagray6215]

She is so anointed and Beautiful. I pray she will continue to write about her precious faith in our Loving God..please keep the songs coming Twila.

[@lawsonbob]

Twila is great. My favorite is "Lamb of God," a song my praise band plays frequently.

[@bobwann9484]

Twila Paris's music is awesome! Had the privilege of seeing her twice in concert. What a blessing from God! She truly ministers through her music!

[@bobdudeaz]

"I would rather die than to loose my faith in you".....I will trust you LORD

Twila Paris, God bless her, she is amazing. A heavenly voice. There are no others like her.

[@jamesmelendez4113]

Hello y’all I’m James, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at the age of 34. I’ve been fighting it every day since. Due to that I have several vertebrae out of place. Needless I’m in constant chronic pain I’ve had 3 brain surgeries to place Deep Brain Stimulation. It has helped , but after 3rd surgery. I became immune to any RX pain medication as well as otc. Needless to say I’m in constant pain. Nothing can be done to alleviate the pain due to my tremors. My pelvis is separating from my hips. Pain is constant with lower back, pelvic area and legs. This song I have taken it as my favorite song. As far as going home and falling on my knees. It’s due to PD. That song resonates so much that I’ve tell ppl to listen to it. That gives them a different perspective on when they say I look stronger and appear to have nothing hurting or bothering me. I am so grateful for the lyrics of this song. And appreciative of Ms. Paris singing it.

[@GodNControl]

Thanks for sharing your story. I prayed for you to have relief and healing.

[@jamesmelendez4113]

Thanks for your prayers. I am a God fearing Christian. I placed it all on Gods hand. I could share with you so much more of my accomplishments as well as failures.

[@janekata1432]

Hearts are with you James...

[@donnagray6215]

God bless you always, my dear friend ..may God take away all your pain

[@bespiritfilledbespiritfill410]

You can make it with faith in Jesus Christ🎉

[@dolphinlover21]

these was revived by one of the famous singer in philippines..and this song strucked me so much the first time i listened to it. i felt that my life was too strong that noone noticed how i am so weak deep inside that all i can count on is GOD... the world is too much. but i can face its music because i trust HIM. as what i have watched with other videos.everything is so amazing yet nobody is happy. which is really true.... happiness is the LORD.with God in you...you will feel content and happy

[@leesabradley9676]

I sang this song with my youth director, Sharon Hartley, in front of my church when I was 15. I cried singing it because it fit my short life of 15 years of turmoil. I had no idea how true that song would still be & mean so much today. The turmoil has changed but I know now why we suffer what we suffer & how God uses that to be what He needs for us to be. It makes the suffering worth it. Be kind to one another, you may never know what a kind positive word or act can mean to someone. We all are wounded children.

[@sharonchanks9364]

I too sang it in High School, it had a powerful effect on me! How true it is, when were weak, we are strong!

[@kirubahelan9997]

How are you today?

[@leesabradley9676]

I should have mentioned that I posted that when I was 44 years old, going through my fourth round (years) of the six treatments for Lymphoma as a single mom with a blessed support group!! By the Grace of God Almighty. 😬

[@Yesica1993]

Twila Paris was one of the first - if not THE first - CCM artist I ever heard and loved when I got saved. Her music was such a huge influence in my life. These two songs bring back so many memories!

[@Loreneable]

Wow great harmony with the backup vocalist....he is gooood!

[@torialive4christ276]

Was fortunate enough to catch Twila Paris in concert a couple of times in a church setting and her music is wonderful.. and I love the back up singer and his trails. Choreographed and made warrior costumes for a group of kids I was working with in my church and we presented litergical dance to this song... it was very moving ❤️✝️

[@davyman7]

"Warrior is a Child" is a classic gold standard song. Twila Paris was always one of my favorites. I first heard "Warrior" in the 80's and have related to it so many times. No one knows how frightened someone who looks like they have it all together may be. Courage is not the absence of fear but the facing of fear while trembling as a child~

[@migbox]

I fell in love with Twila's songs back in the 80's esta fue mi primera cancion que aprendi a tocar en el piano. Gracias y que Dios te bendiga Twila.

[@denniselroy6266]

May His Beautiful Spirit continue to encourage the struggling ones of little faith, He is Risen in worship, He is Risen in action and He is Risen in deed, for greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world, Arise ye warriors arise and worship the Lord God Almighty, worship brings victory through Jesus

Her sweet and tender voice adds to the brokenness of the tired spirit which is wrapped and protected by the heart of steadfast faith, regardless of the fight ahead. Still one of my favorite, go to, songs.

[@JoyceSmithMusic]

May we always remember that even "the strong" need a friend, for at the end of their day, when they remove their "armor" and tend to the physical and emotional bruises of their day, they too need a soft place to land. May we be there for them with words of encouragement and compassion. As with the words in this song...." They don't know that I come running home when I fall down...They don't know who picks me up when there's no one around...I drop my sword and cry for just a while, cause deep inside this armor, the Warrior is a Child"....remember this next time you meet someone who seems to be strong on the outside...you may not know what life they live....and that their inner child may not be as strong as you may think...may love always be your guide....

[@rextony22]

Wow big words there where did u learned that from

[@likemypryvecy494]

What a great response! Some of our strongest emotional Warriors go undetected or unappreciated. People are so used to thinking those individuals are strong that they don't stop to remember they are human beings, often towing the rest of folks along. What a tiring job!

Lyrics: Lately I've been winning Battles left and right But even winners can get Wounded in the fight People say that I'm amazing Strong beyond my years But they don't see inside of me I'm hiding all the tears They don't know that I go running home when I fall down They don't know Who picks me Up when no one is around I drop my sword and cry for just a while 'Cause deep inside this armor The warrior is a child Unafraid because His armor is the best But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest People say that I'm amazing Never face retreat But they don't see the enemies That lay me at His feet They don't know that I go Running home when I fall down They don't know Who picks me Up when no one is around I drop my sword and cry for just a while 'Cause deep inside this armor The warrior is a child They don't know that I go Running home when I fall down They don't know Who picks me Up when no one is around I drop my sword and look up for a smile 'Cause deep inside this armor Deep inside this armor Deep inside this armor The Warrior is a Child Do I trust You, Lord? Does the river flow? Do I trust You, Lord? Does the north wind blow? You can see my heart, You can read my mind And You've got to know, I would rather die Than to lose my faith in the One I love Do I trust You, Lord? Do I trust You? I will trust You, Lord, when I don't know why I will trust You, Lord, till the day I die I will trust You, Lord, when I'm blind with pain You were God before and You'll never change I will trust You, I will trust You I will trust You, Lord I will trust You, I will trust You I will trust You, Lord I will trust You, I will trust You I will trust You, Lord

"I will trust You Lord, though I don't know why..."Sometimes we have just got to lay it right there...make the choice to trust God even when it does not make sense to us...God has a plan (Jeremiah 29:11) and He knows the way He taketh...God, I choose today to trust You.
