Help Thou My Unbelief

[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, melodic bass line] [Verse 1] [male lead vocals] There was a man in the holy land [clean electric guitar swells] With a deaf son who could not speak He foamed and gnashed his teeth, his body rigid and weak Oftimes into the fire he'd fall [bass slides] And into waters after all Worried and tired the father felt, even Jesus' disciples could not help [Chorus] [drums enter with cross-stick, full band] The father of the lad to Jesus pled, if thou canst do anything Have compassion on us and help us, have compassion on us and help us Jesus answered, if thou canst believe [electric guitar melodic fill] If thou canst believe all things are possible to him that believeth [Refrain] [full backbeat on drums, vocal harmonies] Through tears the father cried, Lord I believe Help thou mine unbelief, Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief When your life feels unsafe and you'd like to have faith Though your heart says I feel hopeless, cry through your tears Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief Lord I believe, Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief [Verse 2] [drums drop to cross-stick] The people came to see the sight, Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit Thou dumb and deaf spirit I charge thee, come out of him and enter no more Jesus took him by the hand, lifted him up to stand Just as he did that weary child, he'll lift you too [Chorus] [full band, driving rhythm] Through tears the father cried, Lord I believe Help thou mine unbelief, Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief When your life feels unsafe and you'd like to have faith Though your heart says I feel hopeless, cry through your tears Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief Lord I believe, Lord I believe, help thou mine unbelief [Outro] [acoustic guitar and ambient electric guitar swells] [bass fades out]
