“I’m amazed at what God sees when He looks at me. He looks not at what’s on the outside, but what’s inside, tucked beneath the folds of my self-righteousness. There in the dark recesses of my soul is an awkward little girl, longing to be loved and adored.”

Vs 1
It's been a hundred miles
times a thousand days
That you've been running round
chasing come what may
And always out of reach
is exactly what you seek
Blinded by the mess
that you became
You are perishing
without a goal to reach
And how can you pretend
to live just what you preach?
When all you see around
are chains that hold you down
Tomorrow turns into
eternity
Chorus
Well hey, what do you believe in?
Is He still real to you?
Hold on, to just what you believe in
He’s still real to me
Don’t lose the only thing
that makes us be
Vs 2
I am here to hear
just what you have to say
But I’m not gonna let you
throw it all away
I know you know you’re right
Controlled by your own mind
The faith you knew now has
a different name
a better path to find
One that’s filled with riches
and with peace of mind
You’ll end up chasing just
what you think you must
Until you’re back to pay
The fiddler’s dust
Well hey, what do you believe in?
Is He still real to you?
Hold on, to just what you believe in
He’s still real to me
Don’t lose the only thing
that makes us be
Bridge
As long as I’m still standing here
Up to my knees in mud
As long as I’m still fighting here
For that phantom we call love
You’ve got a place beside me here
That no one satisfies
You’ve got a life to rescue here
And a faith that never dies
Well hey, what do you believe in?
Is He still real to you?
Hold on, to just what you believe in
He’s still real to me
Don’t lose the only thing
that makes us be
Well hey, what do you believe in?

Verse 1
I feel You beside me
I know that You guide me
Even when I’m in the dark
I know that You told me
You’re here to hold me
You promised the faith for my heart
Chorus
And when the waves, they roar
And when I fear that Your
Will is to test me more
I look to You
Verse 2
You wanted to change me
To rearrange me
But You saw the fear in my eyes
You reach out and take me
You’ll never forsake me
You make miracles of my life
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
And when this weary world grabs a hold of me
And all that I see is what I cannot be
God, give me grace
To look to Your face
To eternity
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Shame to try and be
