Original Song Premiere: A Fool Who Believes

4/19/2020

0 Comments

 
This week, I've re-recorded another song originally performed by the GIPC band.  This one is all me - 3 layers of guitar, bass, drums, and vocals, and a funky, fun feel.  The lyrics elaborate on my choice to be a Christian, one that came later in my life of agnostic skepticism.  Doubt is not my adversary, but my faithful friend - maybe you can relate? 

A Fool Who Believes
​Written, performed, and recorded by Dave Martin.
This version was a part of the 4/19/2020 virtual service of the Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church.

I swear I've felt the touch of His hand
And the flutter of the breath of the spirit
But maybe it was the breeze or the rain
Or a voice inside my head

I’ve read the words of the four who walked
And I’ve harkened the thoughts of the prophet
Spent nights in conversation
And contemplation on the meaning of love

Despite my faith
I own my fears.
I'm still not sure,
But still I'm here!

I choose to believe How ‘bout you?
My questions feed Like faithful fuel
I choose to read and I walk with you
I think it’s alright to admit I could be a fool

If so I’m a fool who believes
And that’s cool with me

With a hunger and a need
To know the answer and live my creed
Should walking the talk be easy
Or is the challenge some kind of test?

Sometimes it seems it’s only me
Who has to struggle with belief
They didn’t have to work to get it
But shouldn’t hope be more than a habit?

Despite my faith I own my fears.
I'm still not sure, But still I'm here!

I choose to believe How ‘bout you?
My questions feed Like faithful fuel
I choose to read And I walk with you
I have to concede I could be a fool

Doubt is not my adversary
But my faithful friend
Always there to challenge me
To decide where I stand

And I know amazing grace
Was given for you and me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

People if you've made your choice
Oh won't you let me hear your voice?

I believe! (I believe!)
In the Father and the Son
Holy Spirit, three in one
Crucified, died for me
On the third day, He set me free

I believe! (I believe!)
