I Still Believe

This morning I was listening to one of my favorite Cd's by Jeremy Camp. Back in May of 2003 I first trusted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and that CD from Jeremy which was titled "Stay" was one of the first full Cd's I bought in which someone sang about Jesus. I remember thinking to myself, man... you can sing about Jesus and still rock out? That's awesome! After listening to that Cd over and over again I began to see who Jesus was through music. The lyrics Jeremy Camp wrote were like a love letter to God. There was one song I heard this morning that I remembered really spoke to me personally. It was titled" I Still Believe". Here are the lyrics you can read. Scattered words and empty thoughts seem to pour from my heart I've never felt so torn before seems I don't know where to start but it's now that I feel Your grace falls like rain from every fingertip, washing away my pain[Chorus:]I still believe in Your faithfulness I still believe in Your truth I still believe in Your holy word even when I don't see, I still believe Though the questions still fog up my mind with promises I still seem to bear even when answers slowly unwind it's my heart I see You prepare but its now that I feel Your grace fall like rain from every finger tip, washing away my pain[Chorus]The only place I can go is into your arms where I throw to you my feeble prayer sin brokeness I can see that this was your will for me Help me to know You are near
I was very new in my faith and I didn't have all the answers. There were times when I was asked questions about my faith in God and I didn't know how to respond. The thing was that the questions that people asked weren't because they really wanted to know, but rather to test and mock me. I started feeling frustrated and at one point just wanting to give up. I started asking God where He was in all this. This song gave me hope and understanding of who God was in my life. At the time I didn't have all the answers(and I still don't),yet God was faithful and true! Through this song He reminded me that His grace covered everything I did. That even though I couldn't see Him I could still walk by faith. So this morning as I was doing the dishes and listening to the song and it reminded me that even now and forever our Creator Jesus Christ in all of His greatness is faithful till the very end! Is there a song like that for you? I know it could be anything for that matter. Peace Out!
