So, these are things I just wrestle with.
And I think that's okay,
because I don't think that doubt is the opposite of faith.
I think certainty is the opposite of faith.
Doubt is a component of faith that actually keeps it alive and moving.
It's the ants in the pants, is what Frederick Buechner says.
But, at the end of all that, here's the point.
The song I wrote was about how the questions I have,
I've found that even when I get answers,
they don't really satisfy, they don't really change me.
But there have been times where I don't get answers,
but I get a sense of God's presence with me, and that satisfies, you know.
And all the time, it's always healing.
And so, presence, the presence of God is so much more valuable than answers, you know, and reasons.
Anyway, that was a long introduction.
[G] I'll work on these introductions to these new songs, I promise.
They'll be a lot shorter.
So, [F] this is a song I wrote about that.
[C] Maybe I better get the words to it up quick.
You guys are so gracious.
I know it's getting warm in here, too.
I gotta hurry up and get done.
Alright.
Here we go.
I'm gonna purge that right here in case I need it.
[G] [C]
[G]
None of my pain has ever caught [C] you by surprise
Still it's hard to trust you when I'm lost in the wonder of my life
[G] But I'll trade every question just to lay down and rest in [C] your heart
And I'll reach for [G] your hand though it'll let me here into the dark
[C] And I won't [G] ask you [Am] for reasons
Cause a [G] reason can't wipe away tears
[C] No, I don't need all [Am] the answers
Just be here [G] beside me
Father, remind me you're here
[C] Here
[G]
If it's random or providence
Neither are a comfort to me
Are you cruel if you planned it
Or weak if you allowed it to be
Half of me's still believing
The other half is [C] angry and confused
[G]
[C] Oh, but all of me is [G] desperate and long to be held by you
[C] So I won't ask you for [Am] reasons
Cause a [G] reason can't wipe away [C] tears
No, I don't need all the [Am] answers
Just be here [G] beside me
Father, remind me [Am] you're here
Here
[G]
[Dm] Get [C] me out of my mind and into your [G]
arms
[Dm] [C] Where hope comes alive and fear falls [G] apart
[C] [G] [C] So I won't ask you [Am] for reasons
Cause a [G] reason can't wipe [C] away tears
No, I don't need all [A] the answers
I just need [C] to know
I just need to know that you're [G] here
Here
