From Bryan Moyer Suderman regarding copyright concerns for the song:

For congregations that are using the Advent materials from Leader magazine, I am considering the use of the the "I Will Trust In You" for the season of Advent as a "one-time use" according to my copyright permissions policy. So I am not asking for any kind of permission fee for the song for Advent - feel free to use the song, print/project lyrics, etc. for the season of Advent.

If it looks like this song or other songs that I've written are ones that you want to use on an ongoing basis, then that would be "ongoing use" according to the policy, and the copyright fees there would apply.
