Help My Unbelief

Another favourite song, this one by Red Mountain Music. This song was originally written by John Newton (author of the hymn Amazing Grace)...

Help My Unbelief

I know the Lord is nigh,
And would but cannot pray,
For Satan meets me when I try,
And frights my soul away; And frights my soul away.

I would but can’t repent,
Though I endeavour oft;
This stony heart can ne’er relent
Till Jesus makes it soft, Till Jesus makes it soft.

Help my unbelief,
Help my unbelief,
Help my unbelief,
My help must come from Thee.

I would but cannot love,
Though wooed by love divine;
No arguments have pow’r to move
A soul as base as mine, A soul so base as mine.

I would but cannot rest,
In God’s most holy will;
I know what He appoints is best,
And murmur at it still; I murmur at it still.

Help my unbelief,
Help my unbelief,
Help my unbelief,
My help must come from Thee
