Here’s one of my favorite CS Lewis quotes: “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”
And I think it ties in nicely with this CS Lewis quote:
“One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.”
Back in 1996 I had never heard of either one of those quotes when I wrote to the lyrics you’ll see below. But I think my compulsion was similar to Mr. Lewis’. And for similar reasons. I’ll just leave you with the lyrics, and you be the judge.
Have To Believe
I can hear my heart, but I just can’t feel my life.
I can feel You cut, but I just can’t see the knife.
You slip Yourself inside of me
To show me what I’m meant to be;
Unlock me with Your golden key;
Protect me from the wizardry
Of this world far below.
I can feel Your love; though I never see Your face,
And whenever I’m alone, You still fill the empty space.
I never have to reach for You.
You always seem to pull me through.
You do the things that I can’t do;
Not even if I wanted to…not even if I tried.
And I have to believe…You did everything for me.
‘Cause what I have to believe…is the truth that sets me free (repeat)
You must know my dreams
Because you’re making them all come true.
I know that You’re the One
Because no one could but You.
Your steady hand is always near.
With perfect love You conquer fear.
You brush away the dark veneer,
And suddenly it’s all so clear which way I should go.
(repeat chorus)
Well, I’m not sure if l deserve it.
I’m lighter than air and soaring like a bird,
And if l can love You any better,
Just say the Word! © 1995
