Man of Faith - JD Eicher
Lyrics by:John D. Eicher
I keep a 'cross inside a drawer of an old dresser I don't use
I put it there with all the questions and
The doubts I've held onto
Like should I hang it up or should I hang it up
And I made almost every Sunday with my family as a kid
But in recent years the Church of Doubt
Is preaching in my ear
And it makes a lot of sense and there's no politics
But no a feeling lies awake in my chest
That there's a point in all of this
No a feeling lies awake in my chest that I can't shake
I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith
And I know it like hope and the sun on my skin
I've been logicked and outreasoned thrown my questions at the sky
But there's a logic in believing life has got a reason why
And I'm pretty sure my heaven's just the answer to my questions
And in getting up each day I think we all display some trust
But when there's so much hell around us God
I get the atheists
But I have been in love and I have seen some good
No a feeling lies awake in my chest
That something gives in all of this
No a feeling lies awake in my chest that I can't shake
I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith
And I know it like love and the good that there is
Well I'm not afraid of nothing
But I do believe in something
I think science and a story aren't mutually imperfect
I doubt life's a black hole or a sorting of the souls
And I know it isn't popular to talk about these things
And I mean to make no sermon you and I can disagree
There's been no decree beyond our own beliefs
No nothing's gonna make me change my mind
No 'cuz I've got a reason 'cuz I've got a reason why
I'm a man of faith I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith I am not ashamed
I'm a man of faith
I'm a man of faith
Yeah and I know that there is more
Than what I understand
What if God were not one being doing good things
What it God were every good thing being done
