Do you ever feel like you have seen so much that should make you firm in your beliefs, and yet you still find yourself questioning? No? Just me? What questions do you find yourself asking?
I need truth instead of answers
I need faith instead of sight
I need trust when I can't find the reasons why
I need presence over blessings
I need promise over proof
I need hope instead of healing in my life
What I really need is You
I could probably write a paragraph about each and everyone of these lines, but I'm pretty sure no-one would want to read all that. So I'll try to summarize it with one line that I think is most impactful to me. As a "math minded" person I often look for proof. I want things that are clear cut, easy to prove, follow logically and are sure. I want to know something is true beyond a shadow of a doubt before I believe it. But really, what I need is promise over proof. I need to rely on God's promises. Because the truth is that those are what will sustain me. His promise of salvation. His promise of a love that never fails. His promise to never leave me. These are the things that I can be certain of, instead of searching for a proof.
Set my heart on fire
And let it burn away the fear
of what I don't know
I don't need the answers
Cuz I trust the one who watching over my soul
He won't let go
Jesus burn away the fear of what I don't know. What I need is You. Lord, I need You.
I've seen mountains move, I've seen giants fall
I've watched oceans part in front of me
Every battle won, every miracle
Couldn't stop my heart from questioning
Oh lord help my unbelief
Through all this You're showing me
That I need truth instead of answers
I need faith instead of sight
I need trust when I can't find the reasons why
I need presence over blessings
I need promise over proof
I need hope instead of healing in my life
What I really need is You
I've seen gardens grow from the desert place
I've seen purpose drawn from my pain
There's no tear that falls that isn't met with grace
