Heart's Cry

Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief

‘Cause my eyes are open, but I just can’t see

And my soul cries out within me

As the deep calls unto deep

Wanting to trust in You

Even with tears runnin’ down my cheeks

So what do I do

When my sure foundation

Feels so uncertain

And the verses I learned in Sunday school,

Just ain’t workin’

And there seem to be

More questions than answers

While doubt spreads like cancer?

I need to know that You’re real

That You are my Savior

‘Cause I feel like I’m drownin’

And I’m tired of fightin’

And even more sick of cryin’

So that’s why I’m writin’

I need Your beauty for my ashes

The oil of joy instead of mournin’

It’s kinda dark right now,

But they say joy comes in the mornin’

So, I’ma choose to trust that Your Word is true

That in spite of how I feel,

I can find real hope in You

So just like David in Psalm 103,

I will lift up my head, and boldly decree,

“Bless the Lord, O my soul,

And all that is within me

Bless His holy name”

For both yesterday, and today,

Lord, You are the same

Let me not forget the things You’ve already done

Like how I’ve been forgiven and redeemed

By the blood of Your Son

How You planned all the days of my life

Before I lived even one

How Your love is unfailing

And Your power unmatched

How when I strayed from the path,

You stopped to go back

Or how even when I can’t feel You,

Your presence is there

How You ultimately bring justice

In a world that’s unfair

Even in the times when it’s so hard to believe

Or when my vision gets cloudy and it’s hard to see

Help me remember

That we walk by faith and not by sight

So I’ll trust You over my feelings

And put my faith in Christ.
