The Risk of Faith

I wrote this song about six years ago now.  Still speaks volumes to me.  Faith is risky.  But it's worth it.  We rarely have all the answers but we have evidence.  Everybody lives by faith.  We are all taking steps of faith all the time.  We choose to believe something or not to believe something (which is simply choosing to believe something else).  We will move in one direction or another.  What evidence do you find worth the risk? 

“How We Rise”

Verse 1

There’s no arrival, but no denying

There’s something in you that is worth finding

There’s no completion, with only reason

There’s no movement, without believin'

There’s more than these two eyes are seein’

By faith it’s finished, by faith we rise

By faith is every step alive

And this is how we rise…

Verse 2

Careful in choosing, the claim that I’m making

But never moving is just as confusing

In this indecision, I’m losing direction

The world and its wonders, we all love to ponder

But safe are the borders in which we wander

We must venture onward to where we don’t know

For beyond the lines we come alive

And this is how we rise…

Chorus

So a risk I will take and I’m letting it go

My need to be right, and my fear of unknown

With a chance I’ll be wrong, and a chance that I’ll fall

I’ll collapse in your arms, cause this is how we rise…

This is how we rise…

There’s no arrival, but no denying

There’s something in you that is worth finding
