"Help Me Believe" by Nichole Nordeman
Take me back to the time
When I was maybe eight or nine,
And I believed.
When Jesus walked on waters blue,
And if He helped me, I could, too,
If I believed.
Before rationale, analysis and systematic thinking
Robbed me of a sweet simplicity.
When wonders and when mysteries
Were far less often silly dreams
And childhood fantasies.
Help me believe
'Cause I don't want to miss any miracles.
Maybe I'd see much better by closing my eyes.
And I would shed this grown-up skin I'm in
To touch an angel's wing,
And I would be free.
Help me believe.
When mustard seeds made mountains move,
A burning bush that spoke for You was good enough.
When manna fell from heavens high
Just because You told the sky to open up.
Am I too wise to recognise that everything uncertain
Is certainly a possibility?
When logic fails my reasoning
And science crushes underneath
The weight of all that is unseen.
Help me believe
'Cause I don't want to miss any miracles.
Maybe I'd see much better by closing my eyes.
And I would shed this grown-up skin I'm in
To touch an angel's wing,
And I would be free.
Help me believe.
When someone else's education
Plays upon my reservations,
I'm the first to cave, I'm the first to bleed.
If I abandon all that seeks
To make my faith informed and chic,
Could You, would You show Yourself to me?
Help me believe
'Cause I don't want to miss any miracles.
Maybe I'd see much better by closing my eyes.
And I would shed this grown-up skin I'm in
To touch an angel's wing,
And I would be free.
Help me believe.
