help thou my unbelief



		help thou my unbelief Written by Rick Elias Father you know me The seed of your creation Made in your image With little indication Of my poverty You alone know me I was knit by your hand And born to a life I can't understand Still you loved me Tempted by shadows and scourged by the night I long for the warmth of the sun Exposing my weaknesses Revealing all lies Finish the work you've begun For I am undone Chorus: Help thou my unbelief Lest I fall away And give my heart wings With visions and dreams The world cannot steal away Help thou my unbelief Or cast me away For the whirlwind will reap The chaff from the wheat Help thou my unbelief Father you held me As I crossed the wasteland Conquering the mountains The rivers and the lowlands But you would not conquer me Abba you touched me You heard all my cries I sat at your table I laid by your side Yet as Thomas, no Judas It's you I denied Still you loved me As you walked the earth With each step as a man Raising the dead from their graves If Peter, who'd seen this And was touched by your hands Could betray you Then what will save me Only you can save me Chorus Help thou my unbelief Lest I fall away I'm desperate for wings For visions and dreams This world cannot steal away Help thou my unbelief Would you leave me this way? I long to believe And forsake all to thee Help thou my unbelief (c)1999 Careers-BMG Music Publishing/BMI return to top return to prayers of a ragamuffin
