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
