FAITH IS INSANITY
FAITH IS INSANITY IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD
AND SOMETIMES I ADMIT THAT IT'S INSANE TO ME
GOD ASKS US TO BELIEVE WHAT WE CAN'T TOUCH OR TASTE
SMELL, HEAR AND HOLD ON TO WHAT WE CAN'T SEE.
FAITH IS INSANITY WHEN YOU REASON IT OUT
THERE'S NO WAY TO EXPLAIN IT AND NO WAY TO SHOW
THE WORLD ASKS US QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN NEVER ANSWER
AND WHEN WE ASK OURSELVES, WE CONCEDE WE DON'T KNOW.
FAITH IS INSANITY TO THE LOST OF HUMANITY
THEY LOOK TO THE PHYSICAL, THE VISIBLE AND SEEN
WHILE WE LOOK AT THE INVISIBLE AND FEEL THE INTANGIBLE
AND ARE LED BY THE INDESCRIBABLE AND THE VISION AND DREAM.
FAITH IS INSANITY TO THE MIND OF THE HEATHEN
THEY DISDAIN OUR PREACHING BEFORE WE CAN START
THEY ASK US TO SHOW THEM JUST WHERE JESUS LIVES
AND THEN LAUGH WHEN WE SAY THAT HE LIVES IN OUR HEART.
AND THAT GOD WROTE THE BIBLE THROUGH THE HANDS OF THOSE MEN
AND THAT ANY DAY NOW JESUS IS COMING AGAIN
THAT GOD HEALS THE SICK AND HE MAKES THE BLIND SEE
AND THAT HE HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOU AND FOR ME.
THAT SPEAKING TO MOUNTAINS AND WALKING ON WATERS
AND LAYING UP TREASURES ON HEAVEN'S FAIR SHORE
THAT DYING IS LIVING AND SOWING IS GIVING
AND IT'S HARD FOR A RICH MAN TO GET THROUGH THAT DOOR.
THEY LAUGH AT US WHEN WE TALK LIKE THAT
SOMETIMES I LAUGH MYSELF
MY MIND SAYS "FACE REALITY, FOOL!
AND PUT THAT OLD BOOK BACK ON THE SHELF."
IT'S A FAIRY TALE, A BOOK FULL OF MYTHS
CREATED TO GIVE MANKIND HOPE
IN A DOG EAT DOG, YOU LIVE AND DIE WORLD
AND WITH THE HELL IN BETWEEN YOU JUST COPE.
FAITH IS INSANITY 'CAUSE IT SAYS, "THAT'S NOT TRUE."
THAT JESUS LIVED, DIED AND ROSE AGAIN FOR ME AND FOR YOU
THAT HE'S SOMEWHERE IN HEAVEN WATCHING US NOW
WE JUST DON'T KNOW THE "WHY" OR "WHEN" OR THE "WHICH" WAY" OR "HOW"
WE LIVE IN FAITH AND TAKE FOR GRANTED
THAT WHAT WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT IS TRUE
THE WORLD LOOKS AT US AND SAYS, "YEAH, WE'RE SINNERS
BUT AT LEAST WE'RE NOT CRAZY LIKE YOU!"
AND SOMETIMES I DO FEEL CRAZY, DON'T YOU?
I QUESTION MY HOPE AND MY FAITH
SOMETIMES THIS WALK JUST GETS SO HARD
THAT I WANT TO RUN AWAY.
TO STOP BELIEVING IN THE INTANGIBLE
IN THE UNSEEN, UNTASTED, UNHEARD
TO STOP THIS NONSENSE BEFORE I DO GO INSANE
THAT IT'S ALL BASED ON A BUNCH OF JUST "WORDS."
FAITH IS INSANITY TO MY CARNAL MIND
IT MAKES NO SENSE, THAT MUCH I KNOW
BUT IF I LOST MY FAITH AND LEFT............
WHERE WOULD I GO? WHERE WOULD I GO?
IF THERE WERE NO HEAVEN WAITING FOR ME
HOW COULD I LIVE FOR ONE MORE DAY?
IF THERE WERE NO JESUS SHINING HIS LIGHT
HOW COULD I EVER FIND MY WAY?
I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD EXISTS
I HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING FOR WHAT I CAN'T SEE
I HAVE TO KEEP MOVING TOWARD THAT INVISIBLE HEAVEN
AND BELIEVE WHEN LIFE'S OVER, THAT IT'S WAITING FOR ME.
FAITH IS INSANITY TO AN INSANE WORLD
IT'S A DRUG, A NARCOTIC TO THE LOST OF MANKIND
A CRUTCH FOR THE CRIPPLED, THE WEAK AND THE MEEK
AND TO FIND FAITH IN GOD, YOU MUST FIRST LOSE YOUR MIND.
FAITH IS A FACT THAT'S UNPROVABLE IN COURT
A DEFENSE, AN OFFENSE TO THE EGO AND BRAIN
BUT FAITH IS THE ANCHOR THAT SECURES OUR TOSSED SHIPS
ON THE OCEANS OF HOPELESSNESS IN A WORLD THAT'S INSANE.
