A Simple Faith
Have me questioning my God, at my firmest belief tears Are you really there I wonder, you don't seem to be, Is my God a myth? Does he really look out for me? To trust or not I do not know I've tried so hard to do, All that you've taught, just surrender, let it all belong to you. Infinite silence I hear in reply He's got me so confused Am I to stand and patiently watch - hopes shatter, plans diffuse? What is the answer my soul pleads, I can't bear this any more Oh Lord I just can't seem to find the key to each closed door. Silence again, I bow my head, get down on bended knees Perhaps I've sinned sometime, Oh Lord, reveal it please At last upon my Creators face I clearly see a smile He says you should have asked, you took quite a while To see that in the midst of sorrows, pain and care It's important not to doubt, wonder if I am ever there For the darkest sin, the greatest pain you cause to me Is the sin of doubt that says, You no longer do believe When the night you faced seemed ne'er to bring a morn When through agonizing hours you doubted you d see the dawn A shelter when storms blew rough, fortress when cold winds blew A strength, comfort, solace, through it all I sheltered you Despite all your fears one hand you sought to hold Why falter now my child, why let your faith grow cold? Do the clouds of pain envelope so, you fear I cannot do All that I've promised, fear not, for I can give them all to you My love, patience, strength and care is eternal, ever abounding You doubt because my power seems impossible, so astounding How can an unseen God I trust, with all my cares everyday Is he as indomitable, competent, encompassing as they say? I know my child the questions that you harbor in your mind The doubts that always linger, the answers you seek to find Despite all I've done all I continue to do what would it take, to remove the veil, see through All I asked was that you have, the faith of a mustard seed I d find the answers to your questions, through darkest hours lead. I wish that you would cease to doubt, I know no greater pain Than to have the one I cherish most, flounder, fail me yet again Hold fast to hope and firm belief, for I will surely show The one that trusts with all his heart, earns blessings more and more I have the answer to every question, the key to every door Firm faith in me brings true peace, assurance you knock no more Is life eternal proof enough? my child what will it be? Faith in yourself and all your strengths? Or a simple faith in me? |
