“I believe. Help my unbelief.” Mark 9:24

A song for the doubting.

A dear friend of ours likes to say: “Sometimes we do things scared.” This is one of those moments. “I’ve Heard Stories” came out of a moment of great anger and deep grief so it feels very raw and exposing to share it with you. It is my attempt to not just be honest in the moments of triumph and celebration but also in the moments of heartache and disappointment.
Thankful for Eric Marshall (Young Oceans) who helped make this song better. Thankful for Alison, my partner and co-producer (and she would add co-writer), who makes me better. Thankful to know a God who is big enough and good enough to hear my cry.

I've Heard Stories

Verse 1
There are now only echoes faint echoes of your love
Shadows of your mercy fading with the setting sun
I’ve heard stories of your greatness from ages long ago
But are these words just myth and legends spoken out of desperate hope

Verse 2
Where are your mighty wonders your hands that split the sea
No clear path ahead just water crashing over me
I’ve heard stories of a rescue that saved the ones you loved
But how much longer must I wait to see your power from above

Chorus
I am on my knees
Help me in my unbelief
While my heart grows weak
Help me in my unbelief

Verse 3
Where is this place you led me have you brought me here to die
Am I here alone and was your promise just a lie
I’ve heard stories of your presence that delivered and restored
But with faith so small I strain to ask do you do that anymore
Do you do that anymore

Verse 4
Here I stand with all my limits my dependence and my fear
I am weak but you are strong and still my eyes they fill with tears
I’ve seen glimpses of your glory so I kneel before your throne
In this body in this moment this is all that I can know
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
My life is not my own
