I wrote this song after reading several books on faith, and yet came away with no more understanding and just as hopeless as before

Artist picture
Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing. I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.

Lyrics
They say that sin shall not have dominion ~ yet I still feel enslaved ~ they say I am strong ~ yet I still feel so weak ~ they say that I have won ~ but I’m living in defeat ~ (bridge) everyday I’m humble a little more ~ seeing that I can’t do it on my own ~ everyday I see more how the only way to overcome is by faith ~ (verse2) Believing that you can is not enough ~ and believing that you will ~ won’t solve the inner problem ~ the faith that you want ~ says that you have ~ (bridge2) that it’s already been done ~ That you have provided ~ before the problem even begun ~ faith is receiving ~ what you have already given ~ (chorus) So my weakness is explained by my lack of faith ~ what can I say O Lord ~ but help my unbelief ~ help my unbelief ~ (verse3) My flesh still has a problem ~ it reminds me everyday ~ wishing the had the means to overcome ~ but all the natural faith in the world ~ does not add to nothing ~ true faith comes from God alone ~ (bridge3) So what if I don’t have the faith ~ to ask you for faith ~ this leads me all the more to my spiritual bankruptcy ~ (chorus3) yet a part of me want to believe ~ I have the goodness in me to change ~ yet the harder I try ~ the more I fail ~ six feet under and helpless ~ I’m forced once again to be fully dependent on you ~ (ending) for even the faith by which I’m saved ~ is a gift from God ~ there is nothing I can do with in myself ~ but because I stand in you grace ~ I can trust in your kindness ~ clinging to your promises ~ resting in you mercy and love
