You say with a mustard seed of faith
That I can make a mountain move
But sometimes I am so afraid
Even though I know it’s true
Because my faith feels just like doubt
I don’t know what to pray right now
Oh, I believe
Please help my unbelief
Jesus, give me grace
To trust what I can’t see
Your ways are not my own
Some things I’ll never know
But You say, blessed are the ones who never see
They just believe
So now with a heart full of questions
I come to You just as I am
All my weakness, all my fears, all I’ve run from all these years
In the middle of my doubts, somehow still I’m finding out
I believe
Please help my unbelief
Jesus, give me grace
To trust what I can’t see
Your ways are not my own
Some things I’ll never know
But You say, blessed are the ones who never see
They just believe
Jesus, I believe
Help my unbelief
When my faith feels just like doubt
I believe, yeah
Oh, I believe

Behind the Song:"This song was inspired by a mission trip I took to Mumbai, India. There were 15 of us and during the day, we’d go out two by two in the slums... Anyone who invited us in, we told them about Jesus, why we were there, and we invited them to church.
One day, we were invited into a home where four generations of women were living together. The third oldest was sick, lying down when we came in. She was shaking, so we figured she had Parkinson’s disease. We asked to share a story with them, and they said yes. So we shared the gospel of Jesus with them. While we were talking, a 5th woman came into the room... At the end of our story, I asked ‘Is this something you could believe in?’ This woman said, ‘If you pray to your God, and he heals her, we’ll believe. If he doesn’t, we won’t.’
My friend Mike prayed for the woman’s healing, and prayed, ‘Even if you don’t choose to heal her, we know you are still God.’ If I ever prayed out of pure motives, that was the time, but when Mike finished praying, I looked up at the woman. She was still shaking. My heart sank; I was devastated. I didn’t understand why God wouldn’t’ heal her in that moment. I’d prayed with all the faith in my heart. Then the sick woman said something in Hindi. The translator said, ‘She wants you to know she feels peace in her heart.’
I don’t know what happened in her heart, but I know it was a holy moment. And I know God has a plan that is bigger than what I can see." - Josh Wilson
