I Don't Need the Answer
Faith Beyond Answers: Taylor Marshall's Reflection on Trust and Seeking
Lyrics
Wounded and hurt
Expressing emotional pain and injury.
At loss for words
Unable to articulate feelings, feeling lost.
Where are You now Lord?
Seeking the presence of the divine, questioning God's whereabouts.
I thought You cared for me
Feeling abandoned despite expecting God's care.
You said Yourself
Quoting God's previous assurance of closeness.
"I'm near to you"
Contrasting God's claim with current feelings of distance.
Well right now it feels like
Expressing a perceived separation from God.
You couldn't be farther
Feeling God is distant or unconcerned.
Lord take and make me into
Requesting a transformation by God.
Someone with faith that will not fail
Desiring unwavering faith.
I want to learn to trust You
Expressing a willingness to trust God despite difficulties.
When I can't hear You
Expressing difficulty in perceiving God's guidance.
I don't need the answer
Stating independence from needing explicit answers.
I don't need the answer
Reiteration of not requiring direct answers.
I'm tired of trying
Feeling weary from actively seeking God.
To chase You down
Expressing fatigue in pursuing God's presence.
I could just give it up
Contemplating giving up the search for God.
Would that be easier?
Questioning if giving up would be a simpler option.
You said Yourself
Recalling God's instruction to seek.
"Seek and you'll find"
Committing to intensified seeking of God.
So I'm gonna seek You more
Expressing a deepened commitment to seeking God.
Than ever in my life
Repeating the desire for transformation by God.
Lord take and make me into
Reiterating the aspiration for unwavering faith.
Someone with faith that will not fail
Expressing the desire to trust God even in the absence of sight.
I want to learn to trust You
Reiterating the wish to learn trust in God.
When I can't see You
Describing difficulty in perceiving God visually.
I don't need the answer
Restating independence from needing explicit answers.
I don't need the answer
Emphasizing the lack of need for direct answers.
When I don't understand
Expressing a willingness to trust God even in confusion.
I'll cling to Your hand
Committing to holding onto God's guidance during confusion.
I don't need the answer
Reiterating independence from needing explicit answers.
Answers won't save me
Acknowledging the limitations of answers in providing salvation.
In trusting You I'm free
Asserting freedom through trust in God.
I believe Your promises
Expressing belief in God's promises.
My future's in Your hands
Trusting the future to God's control.
I don't need the answer
Reiterating independence from needing explicit answers.
I don't need the answer
Emphasizing the lack of need for direct answers.
When I don't understand
Expressing a willingness to trust God even in confusion.
I'll cling to Your hand
Committing to holding onto God's guidance during confusion.
I don't need the answer
Reiterating independence from needing explicit answers.
