lyrics

With each thought I thrust this shovel that you've given me into the earth/And I dig my grave/I don't trust my love/but it's through faith that I've found mirth/But My faith is fading/as desire dies/Tell me how do I believe when I allow the need for justification to thrive/Accepting a truth is easy/But To challenge it would appease me/I’m begging you from my knees God/Please God/relieve me/Relieve me of my doubt/Relieve me of my constant need to see to believe because lately it's been leaving me with hardly anything to pursue that I feel holds value/But I just want to know you/My inability to accept these banalities haunts me/If the devil is real then he's forming an army/he’s drafting our young/and he wants me/But if my God gave me his commandments/I fear that I've taken his love and that I've damned it/Why create us with the
ability to question if all of the answers lie in you/We put knowledge on a pedestal when we should rely on you/Your children are in desperate need of compassion/father/please have mercy on the blind/Your love is nourishing/even in the smallest of rations/teach us to act out of love rather than overthink with our minds/It’s too frequent that I find myself the delinquent/I’m just searching for the answers I never meant to offend/I’m not saying I don't believe/I’m just trying to find the means/but as of now/I’m on the fence/What if we knew the truth/What if God showed his face to everything that he gave life to/and we weren't so confused/Until that day/I’m afraid that I'll struggle with faith/And I'll continue to pray and cry out your name/Father/Father/Relieve me/
