no more faith

One of my lovely blog pals inspired me to make this post. In her blog, she posted the lyrics of a song that shaped and inspired her faith in God. I, too, have a song that came at a pivotal time in my faith-walk.

A couple of years ago, I was experiencing some really intense spiritual warfare. The enemy was coming at me with guns blazing, placing bizarre thoughts of doubt and disbelief in my head. It seemed nothing could stop these unwelcome thoughts—thoughts that in no way reflected what I truly believed. But they weakened me tremendously.

I prayed that God would give me a weapon to wage war against this invisible, insidious enemy. And, in true God fashion, he gave me the most unlikely of weapons. He gave me a song. Here it is...

No More Faith

from "Clear to Venus"
Words and music by
Andrew Peterson







Lyrics:
This is not another song about the mountains
Except about how hard they are to move
Have you ever stood before them
Like a mustard seed who's waiting for some proof?

I say faith is a burden
It's a weight to bear
It's brave and bittersweet
And hope is hard to hold to
Lord, I believe
Only help my unbelief

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
That only love remains

Have you heard it said that Jesus is the answer
And thought about the many doubts you hide
Have you wondered how he loves you
If He really knows how dark you are inside

I say faith is a burden
It's a weight to bear
It's brave and bittersweet
And hope is hard to hold to
Lord, I believe
Only help my unbelief

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
When there's no more faith
And no more hope
I'll sing your praise and let them go
'cause only love
Only love remains

So I will drive these roads in thunder and in rain
And I will sing your song at the top of my lungs
And I will praise you, Lord, in glory and in pain
And I will follow you till this race is won
And I will drive these roads till this motor won't run
And I will sing your song from sea to shining sea
And I will praise you Lord, till your kingdom comes
And I will follow where you lead

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
When there's no more faith
And no more hope
I'll sing your praise and let them go
'cause only love
Only love remains
