Lyrics 3
I Want to Believe in You Thomas J. Carrig
F
How can I understand what I can’t see?
Bb F
When I hardly understand what I can?
F
You want me to believe what you believe;
C
Like a child, playing, just pretend
Jesus said to love one another
And He’d come to judge us in the end
But Cain is killing Abel, and David wants Bathsheba
And what I really need here is a friend
[Chorus]
F Bb
And I, I want to believe in you
F Bb
And yes I, want to put my faith there too
F Bb
Oh yeah I, I want to put my trust in you
C F
So we can survive. Yeah survive, stayin’ alive.
Bb
You think by saying Jesus, somehow that will appease us .
F
Are you convincing me or is it you?
Bb
I believe in Jesus
And in all the things he teaches
G C
What I just don’t know about is you.
[Chorus]
F
The Tower of Babel continues
Bb F
As we search for the will or mind of God
F
So much interpretation, and mental inflation
C
Can we give up the body and the blood?
I’m here to follow my calling
I just don’t know where else to go
Living on earth is far from mirth
The crucifixion just seems a little slow
My life is kind of confusing
As I watch this human comedy
You say that after all this wonder and confusion
My soul, my spirit will be free
I would like to believe you
So what is it that you want from me?
Many of ‘em fakers or just some money rakers
And good ones can’t seem to agree
F Bb
So I, I want to believe in you
F Bb
And yes I, I want to put my faith there too
F Bb
Oh yeah I, I want to put my trust in you
C F
So we can survive. Yeah survive! To make it past alive
You come right here before me
And tell me of God’s glory
But honey, you a’int sellin’ nothin’ new
Sure I would like Heaven
There’s nothing else like Heaven
But what I have right here right now is you
[Chorus]
NOW IS

We’ve opened our eyes but we don’t really care when all of time began;

Something comes from Something; so that’s nice, it’s always been

‘Cuz’ what Is, is now and now is now in the space-time continuum.
*F Bb
We have faith in a future and remember a past but now is, and keeps on ‘is-zing’.

Time just keeps on movin’: it whizzes by and keeps on whizzing.

The only time we really know, is the time we all call Now.

Look around you and see the Now. What is and is not there?
