Outing the Doubting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNlvztZqg3Y

Perhaps I’m too proud

Perhaps I’m too loud 

Perhaps I’m afraid of 

standing out from the crowd

Perhaps I’m too tall

Perhaps I’m too small

Perhaps I’m afraid 

of bringing my all

Perhaps I’m too tired

Perhaps I’m too wired 

Perhaps I’m afraid

I’m gonna be fired 

Perhaps I’ll forget 

Perhaps I’ll regret 

Perhaps I’ll just run up 

masses of debt

Perhaps I won’t know 

Perhaps it won’t grow

Perhaps it'll just be 

a flop of a show

But perhaps I’ll be braver 

than my thinking had thought

The wobbles and wavers 

my mind wracked and wrought 

Perhaps I’ll go further

Be stronger and longer 

Perhaps it’ll fly

Yes!,... I could not have been wronger 

Perhaps I’ll adventure 

And Arctic explore

Pick up the key

and open the door 

Perhaps I’ll breath air 

on the far side that’s open

Not live out a life 

of limited token 

Cos it’s life to the full 

Of that there’s no doubt

So I’m outing the doubting 

and pushing it out

I’d rather I’d live 

by the risk of a plan 

That’s filled with I wonder, 

I will, and I can. 

Not live out a life 

all submerged and put under,

But step out in His courage 

in Heavenly wonder 

So here is my faith 

It has doubts but I’ll risk

The fruits really worth it 

Though giants exist

You see I’m no grasshopper

A giant killer that’s me

I sling out Goliaths 

Eat faith spinach for tea 

So when thinkings all thought 

And feelings all done 

I’ll swap doubts for my faith

And trust God as His son

I still have my doubts 

But brave risk it’s for me 

My hope in sure faith

My trust, certainty 

You see,..

I’d rather I’d live 

by the risk of a plan 

That’s filled with I wonder, 

I will, and I can. 

Not live out a life 

all submerged and put under,

But step out in His courage 

in Heavenly wonder
