A Song for the Deaf and Mute

from Scatterbrained by Joseph McDade

/

lyrics

I have walked alone for far too long
This path seems endless
Begging you to show me some compassion if you can

Feeling hopeless gasping for the air within your breath
My hands are shaking
speak to me a single word and it alone will be enough

I’m on my knees again, don’t be far from me
Do you hear my cries? They’re so familiar
I still believe, but help my unbelief

You gave me the tools to work
But not the strength to use them
“Ask and you’ll receive”
I have begged to no avail

Why does it seem like you build me up to break me down?
You’re not sadistic
Give to me a single sign and it alone will calm my fears

But how can I believe when you’re so far from me?
Do you hear my pleas? I feel I’m fading.
I will believe, but help my unbelief

Faith is but a choice to follow, no matter what the cost
Teach me to believe when I can’t see

You give a voice to the silent and a song to the deafened
You give rest to the weary and audacity to the insecure
You give faith to the skeptical and fulfillment to the wandering
You give joy to the afflicted and love to the lonely
Above all else you give yourself to the unworthy and undeserving

Love has found me broken
By faith I'll be made new
Though doubts and fears have spoken
You’ll always be the one to help me through
