Faith is a Burden



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 that's waiting for some proof? 

Well, 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 and no more hope 
I'll see Your face and Lord, I'll know 
That only love remains 

Have you ever heard that Jesus is the answer 
Or 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 and no more hope 
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know 
That there's no more faith and there's no more hope 
I'll sing Your praise and let them go 
'Cause only love, only Your 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 and no more hope 
I'll see Your face and Lord, I'll know 
There's no more faith, there's no more hope 
I'll sing Your praise and let them go 
'Cause only love, only Your love remains 
Only love

So much I could say to expound on these lyrics. But I'm not. Just going to let them stand alone this time and say AMEN.
