Doubting Thomas
Doubting Thomas
Chris Thile
Chris Thile Music (2005)
What will be left when I’ve
Drawn my last breath,
Besides the folks I’ve met
and those who know me,
Will i discover a
Soul saving love, or
Just the dirt above
and below me,
I’m a Doubting Thomas,
i took a promise,
But i do not feel safe,
Oh me of little faith,
Sometimes i pray for a
Slap in the face,
Then i beg to be spared
'cause I’m a coward,
If there's a master of death
i'll bet he's holding his breath,
As i show the blind and tell the deaf
about his power,
I’m a Doubting Thomas,
i can't keep my promises,
'cause i don't know what's safe,
Oh me of little faith
Can i be used to help
Others find truth,
When I’m scared I’ll find proof
That it’s a lie,
Can i be lead down a trail
Dropping bread crumbs,
To prove I’m not ready to die,
Please give me time
To decipher the signs,
Please forgive me
for time that I’ve wasted,
I’m a Doubting Thomas,
I’ll take your promise,
Though i know nothin's safe,
Oh me of little faith
