help me believe...

been listening to some "oldies but goodies" lately. not super old stuff...just some cds that i'd forgotten that i loved. like lifehouse (their first one), nichole nordeman (this mystery) and some other great cds. but mostly...i've been playing this song over and over and over and over...it's resonating in my soul for some reason...and i can't get enough of it...

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 rational analysis and systematic thinking robbed me of a sweet simplicity
when wonders and when mysteries were far less often silly dreams and childhood fantasys

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 angels wing and i would be free
help me believe

when mustard seeds made mountians 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 recognize that everything uncertain is certainly a possibility
when logic fails my reasoning and science crushes underneath the weight of all that is unseen?

when someone elses education plays upon my reservation
i'm the first to cave...i'm the first to bleed
if i abondoned all that seeks to make my faith informed and chic
could you?
would you?
show your self 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 angels wing and i would be free
help me believe



i hope to get the pictures from this weekend edited today...key word being HOPE. we shall see...
