Believe

Is that really all there is,
Nothing is that easy,
No physical labor, no work involved?
That’s hard for me to see…

Because my people have been through a lot
We’ve learned you work hard for what you’ve got.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress,
But this progress You alone have blessed.

Seriously, Lord, I don’t understand,
I’m confused about your plan,
I want to put my life in your hand,
But tell me how can I stand?
I feel like I’m planted on sand,
So I shrink because I think that’s all that I am.

I ask you what do I do
And I always get the same answer from You.
I ask how do I do it,
You say, your faith has already gotten you through it.

But why do I feel the same.
“Your faith is so little, I’m ashamed to say.
Just continue to pray.
Believe in what I say.
I won’t change or go away.
And I AM the only way.

Your peace is important to me
I will set you free,
All you have to do is believe.”
