Story behind the song
A friend recently told me he would not believe what could not be seen, and therefore would not believe in an unseen God. Reminded me of Thomas and how Jesus had to give him a clue that He really was Risen. This song came out of that conversation.
Lyrics
In this world of scientific thought From the cradle to the grave, we're taught To only trust what we can see To reason out the mystery Believe what passes our two eyes And file the rest away... as lies... But surrounding us at every turn Are unseen things we can't discern Angels draw us to the light While demons drag us into night And while we cannot see them there We journey between hope and despair But like Thomas told the other ten "How could He die and rise again? I won't believe a single word Unless I see this 'Risen Lord.'" So we must touch His nail-pierced hands For the only truth we understand, To cut through all the lies and the decieving, is "Seeing is Believing". And when Thomas saw the Lord of Hosts He said to him, "I'm NOT a ghost, Come thrust your fist into my side It's really Me, they haven't lied. You believe for you have seen, But blessed are those who don't see, yet believe." Faith is trusting what we cannot see The evidence of things unseen The hope for what is yet to come The waiting for this Risen Son And though we cannot see Him there, His presence brings us joy from despair. For it is NOT faith, if we can see For we are told to just believe The truths within this Holy Word The Power of a Risen Lord And tough I can't see with human eyes The One who made the earth and sky I've finally come to realize His meaning: NOT seeing is Believing... NOT seeing is Believing... NOT seeing is Believing.
