Very few songs deal with doubt, unbelief, or other 'messy' parts of the Christian life, except for the 'I used to struggle, then I turned it over to Jesus, and now I'm happy, happy, happy' variety. I've tried to be honest and raw. CCLI#4878326

Contemporary hymns and new worship music
CONTEMPORARY HYMNS AND NEW WORSHIP MUSIC These are acoustic worship songwriting demos with chords sheets. IF YOU'RE A SINGER, BAND, OR WORSHIP LEADER/PASTOR, FEEL FREE TO USE these modern hymns and worship songs in live settings, and to reproduce lyric sheets for Power Point, overhead transparency, or whatever you use. THE MODERN HYMN MOVEMENT: The recent explosion of contemporary hymns and inroads made into churches by Indelible Grace, Stuart Townend, Keith and Kristyn Getty and other modern hymn writers has done wonders for reminding us of the relevance of old hymns and turning again to new hymns crafted in old literary patterns that expressed theological truths in ways that many modern song-constructs cannot follow. I work in this tradition, writing deeply theological worship songs that can be adapted for various musical genres, while presenting the gospel in the depth that hymns are famous for.

Story behind the song
It's a four-verse hymn in long meter, double (LMD). I wanted to write a song based off the verse, "Lord, I believe. Help thou my unbelief." THEMES: Ceremony: Funeral, Comfort, Confession, Courage, Faith, Guidance, Petition, Prayer, Promise, Refuge, Trials, Truth Each verse deals with a different aspect: 1. Help me not to be governed by the shifting sand of my emotions. 2. Help me in the face of intellectual doubt. 3. Help me to trust You through my pain and loss. 4. Help me to trust You while witnessing the power and result of sin in the world.
Lyrics
C_________Dm___________F Lord, when I think You're far away _________G____________C And will not hear or answer prayer, ___________Dm______________F When my own heart feels just the same ___________G__________Am As when You were not living there, ____________F_____________C Then teach me how to doubt no more, F__________C_________G___G7 To know that faith is not naive, C_______Dm____Em____F And my emotions can deceive; C__________G________Am___F__C__G___C Lord, help me in my unbelief. C_____Dm_____________F When I cannot prove Your power ___________G___________C And some say You are just a myth, __________Dm_________F When I'm reminded of old doubts ___________G____________Am That You still reign, that You exist, _________F______________C Remind me You don't owe me proof. F_________C____________G____G7 You're not a concept I've conceived. C_________Dm_____Em_______F And You are found by those who seek; C__________G________C Lord, Help me in my unbelief. C____Dm___________F In the face of deepest loss, _______G________C Blinded by my bitter tears, ___________Dm______________F Heart-broken by what might have been, ________G_____________Am A slave to things as they appear, ___________F___________C Then whisper peace into my soul F________C_____________G____G7 In midst of pain and piercing grief. C_________Dm_____Em___F My own perspective's incomplete. C__________G________Am___F___C___G___C Lord, help me in my unbelief. C________Dm______________F When I suspect You've lost control _________G_______________C Or have forsaken what You've made, ____________Dm_______________F When children starve both near and far ___________G_________Am And love has wilted under hate, _________F__________C Remind me of Your promises: F________C___________G_____G7 A kingdom of new life and peace. C_______Dm____Em____F Tell me to trust eternity. C__________G_______C Lord, help me in my unbelief. CCLI#4878326
