Why Should I Believe?

I've been around enough. I've been let down enough
to realize this world will never let me off my knees
And I need a better to way to make it.
I don't know if I can take it anymore...
No, this time I'm not so sure

If you feel down and all alone
Your mouth is dry and soul's parched to the bone
The desert air has cracked your skin
Who'll be there to hold you when the bleeding begins?
When the maker of your soul is calling,
"come to Me and you will thirst no more."

Why should I believe? Can You wash me clean?
Can You carry the weight of a sinner like me?
Please tell me, why should I believe?
'Cause every time I've opened up my heart
I've let my heart get torn in two
Can I trust You? 'Cause I need You in my life

I'm stepping out onto that ledge.
My hands are trembling and my legs feel dead
The canyon's deep and valley's wide
I'm counting on Your love to get me to the other side
It's baby step into Your arms, my body is shaking,
but you won't let me down...fall down

I believe. Yes, Lord I believe You can wash me clean
You can carry the weight of a sinner like me. Oh yes Lord, I believe
You can take me to a higher ground and mend my wounds
No, You won't let me down. Your love abounds more and more
