I wouldn't call myself a very religious person. Christian music is not that often found on my playlist. I came across Nichole Nordeman from an acquaintance in high school. I really enjoyed her music. I would think the lyrics would speak to many people because whether religious or not, I think we all have our doubts on "the truth" sometimes. "Help Me Believe" is found on Nichole Nordeman's second album This Mystery.
Help Me Believe by Nichole Nordeman lyrics
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 to 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 fantasies.
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 angel's wing. And I would be free. Help me believe.
When mustard seeds made mountains 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 to 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.
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 angel's wing. And I would be free. Help me believe.
When someone elses education plays upon my reservations I'm the first to cave. I'm the first to bleed. If I abandoned 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 one of their wings. And I would be free. I would be free. Yeah, I would be free. Help me believe. Help me believe. Could you, would you show yourself to me? Could you, would you show yourself to me? Help me believe.
