I want faith like peter
but these waves have become quite strong
as I lose sight of you
I realize all that I've done wrong
so I reach out my hand
try to catch the only thing that can save me
as I fail in my own eyes
drowning in doubt and shame
so you pick up my pieces
and claim my faith inane
yet you risked your footing
just to save my skin
from falling in the depths
and be killed by the ocean
My faith might be small
but I want to move mountains twice as tall
as my ego is
and 3 times as much as my pride
maybe a mustard seed is too big for me
I mean I cant quite fill the shoes of the ones you called your friends
maybe a beggar or a prostitute is all I am
and half a seed is worthless
but sometimes its all I have!
CAN YOU WORK WITH THAT?
can you work with that?
but I realize you don’t need me
you just wish that through my eyes you'd be seen
I WANT SO BADLY TO SEE
If I see your face then that mountain in front of me
will seem to move
and you wont have to prove
that your grace is bigger than my faith
My faith might be small
but I want to move mountains twice as tall
as my ego is
or at least as tall as you let me
is my mustard seed enough
because sometimes I fear I’m missing the soil
and throwing it upon the cement
OH, WHAT A LAMENT
