Lord, I Believe But

dramatic verse LORD, your mission I long to fulfill. I know at times I hinder Your grace. BELIEVE, You plead. -- I believe until HELP is put on hold and doubts displace THOU, God, the one Master of my will MY deepest need is strength to erase UNBELIEF -- to wait patiently still. I need you Savior, LORD, my Surety, counting it joy when I profess You are mine. So when I fail to BELIEVE deplorably, questioning your HELP, asking for signs, O how very great THOU art, I sing to thee. In your presence, MY faith I refine and break off UNBELIEF, infidelity. Jesus Christ, my unchanging LORD totally pardons me I know. Once I made my original choice to BELIEVE, He’s always been nearby to HELP. Reprove me, O Holy Spirit, THOU can remove what I do not need-- MY self-seeking pride, alas my UNBELIEF. written 8/16/2014 inspired by:Mark 9:23-24, (when Christ healed the boy of demonic spirits) 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
