Doubt

This past weekend during Pastor Steve’s message I was struck by the honesty in one of his statements. He told us that there was a time that he was fearful of reading books that challenged his faith, fearful that they may pose him with a question that would make him doubt his faith. I don’t know about you but I really appreciated hearing him share from his heart.

Later that night as the house was beginning to quiet down I picked up one of the many guitars laying around our house and began writing a song about Pastor Steve’s statement. The song gives voice to the tension between doubt and belief. My prayer is that it would speak to you, enjoy.

Pastor Joshua

Doubt

Verse 1

There’s a part of me - That seems to want to be

Free from the confines of this reality

That by my very nature - I am nothing more

Than a wounded and wandering, restless soul

Chorus

I have seen the work of God in me

So I don’t know why doubt colors my eyes

Verse 2

I’m too scared to go - Where they challenge me

Fearful that they would shake my belief

And that I can’t give an answer - For the questions that they raise

And that my fragile faith would be erased

Chorus

I have seen the work of God in me

So I don’t know why doubt colors my eyes

I have seen the work of God in me

So I don’t know why doubt colors my eyes

Bridge

So I’ll be still - And try to know that He’s near

Even when I feel - All alone

Let my prayer be - That faith would arise

Please open my eyes - Open my eyes

Ending

I have seen the work of God in me

So I don’t know why doubt colors my eyes
