Nickel Creek, off their album Why Should the Fire Die
"Doubting Thomas"
What will be left when I've drawn my last breath
Besides the folks I've met and the folks who've known me
Will I discover a soul-saving love
Or just the dirt above and below me
I'm a doubting Thomas
I took a promise
But I do not feel safe
Oh me of little faith
Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face
Then I beg to be spared cause I'm a coward
If there's a master of death
I bet he's holding his breath
As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power
I'm a doubting Thomas
I can't keep my promises
Cause I don't know what's safe
Oh me of little faith
Can I be used to help others find truth
When I'm scared I'll find proof that it's a lie
Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs
That prove I'm not ready to die
Please give me time to decipher the signs
Please forgive me for time that I've wasted
I'm a doubting Thomas
I'll take your promise
Though I know nothin's safe
Oh me of little faith

jewels,
to quote another song (sixpence)
"So hey baby, can you shed some light on the problem maybe?
'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show.
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign.
But anything would be fine."
sometimes we gotta take whatever faith we have and just wrap ourselves up in it and relax about the God thing. maybe even walk away to focus on the good that surrounds us, even in pain and dismay. i think that it may help us to find the real God behind the curtain put up by others to protect us from Him.
does that make any kind of sense?
BTW - i really miss talking - do ever get on MSN or such? next to me, you are my favorite american canadian.
it makes a lot of sense. :)
I have my MSN off and on. not as much as I used to. :P I'm not sure if I'll be around tonight but you can look for me tomorrow. :) I should be on here and there.
Sarah-
On a solution, I don't know. I right now being in the question is where I want to be. being a doubting Thomas for me right now isn't too bad. I kindof need to be that. I had the answers and was the answer for too long. :P
IF that makes ANY sense. LOL
