Concrete
Plumb's 'Concrete' is a reflective Christian rock song that explores the tension between faith and doubt. The lyrics describe a person wrestling with fear, temptation, and the pressure of external opinions, yet choosing to hold onto belief. The chorus emphasizes believing in things not seen or told, echoing a trust in God beyond visible evidence. The song touches on confession, clinging to the teachings of faith, and the imagery of kneeling in a sanctuary with crosses, bread, and wine, pointing to communion. It speaks to the struggle of feeling alone while acknowledging that faith has been a source of strength.
More than a superstition
When put in my position
Temptations and opinions
This heart's not my possession
Hold tight to your convictions
Hypocrites in all directions
Cling to the things your father taught you
Confess your sins to the One who bought you
Do you feel all alone
Faith has alway kept you strong
If you could see my fear
Should I believe or should I doubt
[Chorus:]
I believe
In the things that you never told me
I believe
In the things that you never showed me
I believe
I know my fears control me
I believe
In the things that you never told me
Aggressive passive inhibitions
Laughs before an indecision
Do I run or do I stay
When all I do may fall away
Lack of faith in what I trust
When all I measure turns to dust
When all I know decays in vain
And I am left alone again
Do you feel all alone
Faith has always kept you strong
If you could see my fear
Should I believe or should I doubt
[Repeat Chorus]
As I kneel in sanctuary
Crosses all arouned to haunt me
Architecture so divine
Bread, the body
Blood, the wine.
[Repeat Chorus Three Times]
