Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I believe, help thou my unbelief

I take the finite risk of trusting like a child

I believe, help thou my unbelief

I walk into the unknown, trusting all the while


I long so much

To feel the warmth that other seem to know

But should I never feel a thing, I claim Him even so

I believe, help thou my unbelief

I walk into the unknown trusting all the while


I long so much

To feel the warmth, that others seem to know

But should I never feel a thing, I claim him even so

I believe, I help thou my unbelief

I walk into the unknown trusting all the while


I walk into the unknown trusting?
