Honest Thoughts
Faith Beyond Words: Daniel Pratt's Honest Reflections
Lyrics
Jesus please don't be mad
Expressing a plea to Jesus not to be upset.
I know that it makes you sad
Acknowledging that disobedience brings sadness to Jesus.
When I simply don't obey
Admitting difficulty in obeying Jesus' commands.
I tried my best I would like to say
Asserting effort in trying to do one's best.
And Jesus please hold on
Pleading with Jesus to endure in moments without a song of praise.
When I simply don't have a song
Acknowledging times when the heart lacks a song for Jesus.
And my heart cant give you praise
Admitting a struggle for the heart to offer praise to Jesus.
It doesn't care to even sing your name
Noting the heart's indifference even to singing Jesus' name.
But I still believe
Affirming belief despite challenges.
That your bigger than these things
Believing in the magnitude of Jesus beyond personal struggles.
And when I don't find what to say
Expressing difficulty in finding words to communicate.
Somehow you know and you love me the same
Believing in Jesus' understanding and consistent love despite communication challenges.
Jesus are you even real
Questioning the reality of Jesus' presence.
Sometimes I pray but I still cant feel
Expressing difficulty in feeling the peace Jesus promises through prayer.
The peace that you claim
Doubting the fulfillment of Jesus' promise of peace in challenging times.
You would give when we had a hard day
Referencing Jesus' promise of peace on difficult days.
I know I really shouldn't ask
Recognizing the inappropriateness of questioning Jesus but still asking.
But do you record all my bads
Questioning if Jesus keeps a record of one's wrongdoings.
Will they put me in hell
Contemplating the possibility of punishment in hell for one's mistakes.
Is that just a myth that preachers selll
Questioning the legitimacy of hell as taught by preachers.
But I still believe
Reiterating belief despite struggles with unbelief.
That you're bigger than my unbelief
Believing in Jesus' greatness despite personal doubts.
And when I don't know what to say
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing thoughts and feelings.
Somehow you know and you love me the same
Believing in Jesus' understanding and consistent love despite communication challenges.
Jesus I'll keep trusting you
Committing to trust Jesus, even when not motivated by desire.
Not always because I want too
Acknowledging the challenge of trusting Jesus, not always driven by personal inclination.
But there's no where else to go
Choosing to trust Jesus when there seems to be no other viable option.
Your words feel different that much I know
Recognizing the distinct impact of Jesus' words.
And I'll try my very best
Committing to do one's best despite life's difficulties.
At times it feels like life is just a test
Acknowledging life's challenges and the feeling of being tested.
Like we were destined just to fail
Expressing a sense of destiny and potential failure in life.
Did you feel bad is that why you tore the veil
Speculating on whether Jesus felt sorrow, referencing the tearing of the veil.
But I still believe
Reiterating belief despite challenges.
That your bigger than these things
Believing in Jesus' greatness beyond personal struggles.
And when I don't find what to say
Expressing difficulty in finding words to communicate.
Somehow you know and you love me the same
Believing in Jesus' understanding and consistent love despite communication challenges.
