Unbelief

Help me in my unbelief

Despair and darkness gather round

I cannot see you in my grief

Your glory light cannot be found


Across the waters come the doubts

I’ll never be the same again

With pangs of fear and troubled shouts

In Your resolve, I say amen


Hoist the sail, Lord, sinking fast

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go

You’re my rudder and my mast

The tides of doubt are to and fro


It’s cold and dreary, catch a glimpse

Distance embers of Your light

Pain engulfs me as I wince

Fog is rising in my fright


Help me in my unbelief 

My faith is waning in my tears

Lord, I need You, need relief

Relieve my hunger and my fears


Your path to victory unspoiled 

You take my hand to guide me home

With all my misery and my toils

You’re the only hope I’ve ever known


Days pass to nights and nights to days

In dead of night, my dread, awake

To have belief and trust Your ways

My prayer to You in rest, I make


Forgive me, Lord, I’m tired and weak

There’s no excuse to doubt in vain 

Sometimes this fear, can’t hardly speak

You see my anger, see my pain 


Belief in You, my only hope

There’s only One I can rely

You help me live, You help me cope 

Without You, Lord, could not survive


Thank you for Your love and grace 

Kindness, joy, Your love and peace

In trusting You, I can replace 

Belief in You, my fear, released
