Focus – Help my unbelief
HELP MY UNBELIEF by Johnmarc Skoch
Beauty is for everyone. Beauty causes us to awaken to the deepest desires of our hearts. Beauty stirs in us a sense that we were made for more, that we were made for the infinite God.
Authentic beauty is a place of encounter with Jesus Christ, who is Beauty Himself. By having a relationship with Christ and His Church, we can find fullness of life — now and in eternity.
“Origin” is a response to the call to share the gospel with our entire lives. After personally experiencing how music transforms hearts through an anointed time of worship together at SEEK2015, the FOCUS Collective and Papercastle Records gathered for five days in the mountains of Colorado for a time of prayer and recording. This collaboration is the first project for “A Beauty Initiative within FOCUS” to explore how beauty can inspire people to know Jesus Christ, Who is the source of all beauty. Our hope is that “Origin” inspires people to create art that allows others to encounter Christ through the power of beauty, as the Church has done through Her rich tradition of promoting the arts.
lyrics // Help My Unbelief // Johnmarc Skoch
VERSE 1:
My world is shaken
My faith is breaking
How do I know what is real?
PRE-CHORUS:
Drive the darkness of my doubt away
Calm the storm that holds my fear
Lord, give me now the words I need to say
Reveal the truth, make it clear
CHORUS:
My Lord, and my God,
You are all that I need.
My Lord, and my God,
please help my unbelief.
VERSE 2:
My soul is broken
I’m scared and I’m closed in
It’s your presence I must feel
(to Pre-Chorus; Chorus x2)
BRIDGE:
Through sight and touch
and taste and feel
Pressed in your wounds to see what’s real
Lord help me believe
(Repeat) (then to Chorus)
