Stuck In A Moment

I wrote this on September 10, 2008. I found it today. I don't know what I was going through, but I sure am glad God lifted me out of pit I was in!

Im stuck in a moment
I cant find a way out
I like it, I love it
I dont want out

Im stuck in a moment
Was straight on the path
Of Your narrow righteousness
Now the wayside finds my glory

Im stuck in a moment
So deep, so covered
This sin I am in
 Covers me with slimy film

Im stuck in  a moment
Overcome with Your love
Oh Prince of the Air how deceitful you are
"Oh God!" Why what feels so rich, so good, is so wrong?

I humbly come before You
In all my filth, in the chaos of this moment
I cry our to You
For in You we have life

I sat You aside to live
For what I thought was life
But what is life? What is satisfaction?
I thought it was this, this moment

It consumed me
Through my heart, mind, flesh
This is who I really am
A dirty scoundrel who has rejected You

Oh Father, let Your fire fall down!
Let it consume me!
May my sin, rejection and iniquity be burned up
And my Your love pick me up

Yes Lord, I take Your hand
I trust You
You lift me up
And deliver me from this moment.

True Colors

Today is the last day of Summer. When I look back on the past few months, I see happiness and joy, but also stress and sorrow. I was blessed to go to Uganda with my wife and serve the people of Kampala and the surrounding areas! I also went on trips with the youth and watched them serve God and learn more about Him. I also got to go to the beach with my wife and some of our friends, however, that was only due to the major downer of this summer: the resignation of my job. 

It's hard not having a job. Some may say "That's sweet! You don't have to have a job and you can do whatever you want!" Reality says "Dude, you are screwed!" I want to be able to provide for my wife and our needs as a family and without a job, I cannot. I have applied everywhere but, alas, I have heard nothing. I have learned that applying isn't the way it used to be when I was younger. This week I have been going from business to business with my resume and dressed all professional and what do I hear? "Go to our website and apply." Then, once you get to the website, you have to type in all of your resume information again and answer a hundred or more application assessment questions. I had enough of standardized testing in high school thank you very much! The job market is tough, which means I need to man up and be tougher!

I met with my mentor the other day. He is a Godsend. He is the one who did the pre-marriage counseling for my wife and I and he and I have stayed in touch and tried to meet up at least once a month ever since. When he and I get together its great. I can unload everything to him and he is loving, caring and supportive, but also speaks truth into my life (even if it's hard for me to take.) He drew up a little diagram for me when I told him all that had happened and it really helped me! 

He said that we all have times in our life when crap happens. To get through it, we need to go through a 6-step cycle. The first step is Observation. We observe what has happened. Sometimes this is pretty quickly. In other cases, it takes some time. This step includes denial. The second step is Consideration. Here, we consider what we did and what we could have done. The third step is Discussion. We need to talk to someone about what happened. This is what I was doing with Josh. Usually we feel guilt, shame, sorrow, etc. Its like we are stuck in the doldrums of life and don't know what to do. A lot of people get stuck in the O.C.D. doldrums. 

So how do we get outta there? Repentance. We need to be Open to the Plan God has for us. That is the forth step. We need to admit that it's not about us. We need to realize that we are created for something far better than the guilt, shame and sorrow we feel. 

²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?

²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own..

Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)

God loves us. It just sucks that we have to be in the pits of despair to realize it. Once we are open to the plan of God (which isnt just saying "Ok God, whats the deal!" but earnestly seeking Him through prayer and relationship with Him) we need Accept it! I think that's the hardest part because we literally have to die to ourselves for the cause of Christ (Luke 9:23-34). We have to put our own agenda aside and that's hard because we are a selfish culture. Finally, the sixth and final step is to Act on the plan God has for us. This should be easy because if we accept it (meaning we are totally, 100% on board with it), then it should come naturally, a part of who we are.

So, where are am I in all of this? After meeting with Josh, I went through the repentance/open to God's plan stage. I am actively seeking His guidance and plan, yet still seeking employment to provide for my family. Does that mean I don't trust that God will provide? No. It means that God is not going to deliver something to me on a silver platter while I lounge around and do nothing. I have to work for it! God doesn't drop worms in the bird's mouth, it has to get up early in the morning and compete with other birds to get the worm. Don't miss what is being said. The bird trusts that God will provide the worm and therefore goes working for it.

So, that's what I am doing. On this last day of summer, I am letting my true colors shine and holding nothing back! I totally trust that God will provide me with a job and that He will provide for my family.

OVERWHELMED by all the NOISE!!

Typically I would be at the office right now working on music, videos and logos, but today is different. Is it different because it's the 11th anniversary of 9/11? No. Is it different because I am writing a blog? That might be part of it. It's different because I am writing a blog here at Starbucks drinking a vinti Pumpkin Spice Latte and taking a break from job searching. Ya see, a few weeks ago, August 30th to be exact, I was asked to resign. I was caught by surprise and asked to have my office cleared out by the end of the day. I think I am just now realizing that I do not have a job! Now I am not going to go into why I was let go (because I harbor no ill-will toward the church and their decision), that is not who I am. The reason for this post is really to talk about the emotional whiplash I am currently experiencing.

A few days after being asked to resign, I went with my wife and the family she nanny's for to Destin, Florida. I told myself it would be a great way to rest, relax, and figure out my next steps. Well, it was relaxing and I did get some rest, but was still in a way in denial about not working at the church. I still couldn't believe that it happened. While at the beach to took lots of pictures of the kids and family and edited them (because I love doing that stuff!) But now that I am back in reality, I have to face the harsh truth that for the first time, I am unemployed.

I have been flooding the job market with my resume, but because I have a history degree, most places aren't really attracted to me. It seems like an uphill battle that I am not prepared for. This past Sunday my wife and I went to church. This is huge because for the past 3 years, I have worked at church and therefore church was a job, not a worship experience. Pastor Buddy started a series called Overwhelmed. This particular Sunday was the first message in the series and it was entitled "Noise."

The first scripture he gave was one I have always known, but that day, meant more than ever.

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

I needed to be reminded of that, not that God is God, but to be still. My emotions are going crazy, my brain is going crazy because I want to provide for my wife. I needed to be reminded to be still. 

"God don't make junk! He just doesn't!" His grammar left a lot to be desired, but maybe that was the point. When Buddy said that, it stuck. Then he followed with this:

"I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well!" 
Psalm 139:14 (NIV)

When I am still and know that God is who He says He is, I praise Him for what He has done! He created me, he knit me in my mothers womb (Psalm 139:13) and He knows the number of hairs on my head! In that I find my personal confidence. I am created by God. 

"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

I am God's workmanship. God don't make no junk, so what am I created to do? It may confuse some that I worked at a church, the house of God, and was asked to leave. However, I do not live to please man, but my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am created to do good works out of the overflowing love of the Father. If I am not able to do it IN the church, than I will BE the church in all aspects of my life, sharing the love God has bestowed upon me with others. This is my life's purpose, and I need to focus on that, and not all the other crap life throws at me. 

Once I can accept that and do it, I can find rest in the timing of God. 

"He has made everything beautiful in it's time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end."
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV)

He has made everything beautiful IN IT'S TIME. That's easy to say, but it's hard to live out! We live in a society that is self gratifying and instant. We want it now! When one door closes (let go from a job, a relationship ends, etc.) we want and expect another to already have been opened. But that's not how it works and I am currently learning that. 

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
Proverbs 19:21 (NIV)

I reckon this is the best place to but that timeless phrase: Let go and let God. My wife and I have a verse that we have clung to since early on when we were dating. 

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

When I find all my happiness and joy in Christ, in turn, He will grant me my heart's desire. But here is why - when my happiness and joy are found solely in Christ, than all my heart desires are the things of God! This is what Tascha and I strive for each and every day: that as our love for God grows, so will our love for one another. We are united in our mission to love God and love others and it is because of our joint heart's desire that God renews our love for one another and blesses our marriage. So even though I may not have a job, I have a wife who supports me, loves me, and would do anything for me. That is God taking care of the ones He loves. 

"For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank or angels - everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him"
Colossians 1:16 (MSG)

There are people in this world who can multitask like nobody's business! My wife is one of these people. She can be cleaning the house, cooking, and talking on the phone all while holding two kids in her arms and dealing with them! Oh my dude!!! I do good if I can walk and chew gum at the same time. All of us have strengths. A lot of the time we thinks we need to concentrate on our weaknesses and strengthen them so we can become even stronger. That's all well and good, but in the long run, it doesn't help us a whole lot. When we do that, we become mediocre at a lot of things, but excellent at nothing. Our God demands that best and we should want to offer our best! With that said, I need to magnify my strengths and get in S.H.A.P.E.

Spiritual Gifts

Heart  

Abilities

Personality

Experiences

We have all been given spiritual gifts and we need to strengthen them in order to magnify God to the best of our ability. We need to make sure our heart it totally surrendered to the cause of Christ. Our abilities (talents) should be enhanced and grown to better serve the Lord. God has given us a personality and we should use that as a tool to share His love. We have all gone through certain experiences and although me may not know why, we should remember them in order to connect and minister to others down the road. 

"Be very careful, then, how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. therefore do now be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."
Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)

When I am in shape, and even in the process of getting into shape, opportunities will come my way and I had better jump on them! Just a few hours ago, I was walking down the sidewalk in front of a few other stores to get to Starbucks. A lady was walking perpendicular to me holding a box. We arrived in front of the Parcels 2 Go door at the same time. What did I do? Did I open the door for her? NO!!! I was so concentrated about getting into Starbucks and finding a seat with a table next to a plug, that I totally neglected that woman and my call! I threw away a wonderful opportunity to share the love of God because I was selfish. So many times when we are in the valleys, we become selfish and all "woe is me!" Ironically, those are the times we should humble ourselves and allow the Lord to lift us up! (James 4:10) 

So God, I pray that the noise of this world, that all the anxiety, worry and stress, would be drown out and I would be quiet, still and acknowledge your presence. God direct me in the way of Your will, give me strength to persevere and may I find rest in You and You alone. Thank you for a wonderful wife and how she shines Your love so brightly in my life! Thank you for what You are doing in me, through me and in spite of me. May everything I do honor and glorify You!  

Free From To Be Free For

I was walking into the office today to get my third cup of coffee because for some reason, I was totally dead. Usually after being at work for a lil bit I’m good, but today was different. As I walked with my empty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mug toward the coffee pot, I head a very familiar tune. “Nothing but the blood of Jesus” There was a lil ‘ol lady sitting at the receptionist desk proof reading the bulletin for this sunday and just singing her heart out (at a low volume). She didn’t care what people thought, she was just living out the love she has for God. It made me smile :)

In his book, Seizing Your Devine Moment, Edwin McManus talks about living a life totally sold out to God:

“We have put so much emphasis on avoiding evil that we have become virtually blind to the endless opportunities for doing good. we have defined holiness through what we separate ourselves from rather than what we give ourselves to. I am convinced the great tragedy is not the sins that we commit, but the life that we fail to live. You cannot follow God in neutral.” He goes on to say “God created you to do good. And doing this requires initiative. There is a subtle danger of hiding apathy behind piety.”

BAM! What a shot in the mouth! It makes you think how concentrated we are on not screwing up when instead we should just be so sold out to the mission of Christ that the other stuff doesn’t matter and isn’t an issue! This lady wasn’t concerned with what people thought because she was sold out to the way of Christ! 

So many times  our fear restrains us. I am the chief of all sinners and allow my fear to take control way to much! I suppress my yearn and desire to be the hands and feet of Christ and let my fear take over. I let it say “A fool you will be made” and “A failure you will be for success you will reach not!” Yes, my fear speaks to me like Yoda. I expressed this to my mentor and you know what he said? “In order to lead, we must be free from to be free for.” WHAT? Yea, he totally had to break this down for me.

To be free from - God has to be free from us, to be independent of us

To be free for - it is because of God’s independence of us that He can be free for us, free to love us, free to forgive us, to be merciful and gracious to us

I was still a lil lost so he put it in Jeff terms. Here is what he said:

“Jeff, you are a worship leader. How can you lead people in worship if you depend on the approval of the people you lead?” You must be free from the people you lead, see the approval of the audience of One by doing your very best with a pure heart. By doing this, you are free for the people you lead and can lead them into a freedom giving relationship with our Creator.” Yea, I got it that time. 

So what does this all mean? Simply, it means I gotta focus on The Way of Christ. When I do that and let not my fear decide my actions and instead follow the desire of my heart, which is the renown of Jesus, than I am free from the world so I can be free for the world. 

Make A Way

Over the past few months, God has really been working on my heart. I've needed direction and guidance for some time and after a week at a monastery in Kentucky, I realized what I needed to do. My passions are worship, youth and missions. I am currently a youth director, but God has gifted me with talents and abilities in worship arts. I am a completely different person when I am serving the Lord through worship arts (photography, singing, playing music, etc.) There is joy, unspeakable joy that cannot be found anywhere but in the Lord!

In stead of running from this calling, I have decided to embrace it. By doing this, the Lord has totally blessed me and my family! He has provided my wife and I with great jobs (to start January 1) and a place to live! However, we are not promised an easy road. In fact, the Lord's path is straight and narrow and will have hardships. One of those hardships we have already encountered. The job that God has provided me with is 4 hours away from our family and 6 hours from our friends.

During this Christmas season, I am also reminded of two people who were obedient to the Lord's call. Mary was just a teenager, engaged to a young carpenter and had followed all the rules and laws of the age. However, God had other plans for this average girl. He divinely interrupted her life with a call and she was obedient. I'm sure she was terrified, scared and confused but was submissive to what God had in store. She was blessed by this by being the mother of our Savior, Jesus Christ! However, it had it's hardships.

Joseph, her betrothed, flipped out when he got the news and did not believe her. He had decided to leave her quietly and protect her honor. One night, in a dream, an angel came to Joseph and explained everything to him. This angel also asked Joseph to merry Mary and to name their son Jesus, for he would save the world from their sins. Joseph was obedient to his call.

Joseph was a noble man and Mary was a humble woman. Both of these people followed the call God placed on their lives and they were blessed. I am following the call God has placed on my life and I cannot wait to see what He has in store!

When God puts a call on our lives, He will make a way for it to happen if we are receptive and follow His lead. Inspired by my current circumstances and the Christmas season, I wrote this song.

Made A Way – 12/18/11
Capo 4
Intro: Am F C G/B

Am F C G/B
Family was never a thing that I knew well
Am F C
Torn apart before I could even speak
Am F C G/B
She raised my by herself for 21 years
Am F C
Did her best to hide me from her tears

F C G
And through it all You were there
F C G
When I thought I was alone You were there

F C
And you made a way
Am G
When the impossible loomed over my head
F C
Oh you made a way
Am G
When my life is filled with fear and dread
F C
I hear your voice say “Take my hand”
Am G
You light my way right where I stand
F C G
Oh you make a way….you make a way

I lost the one I loved to my selfish pride

The truth was further than I could see

Who have I become? This person is not me!

I talk the talk but live in hypocrisy

But through it all you were there

When I thought I was lost you were there

Chorus

Em Am
My life I’ve placed in your hands
F G
I’ll follow you and submit to your plans
Em Am
Lift me out of the clay and mire
F
For your name and renown is my heart’s
G
desire!

I traded my security for the unknown

I followed the call in my heart

It led me far away from all I’ve known

Oh God…could this be home?

And you made a way

When the impossible loomed over my head

Oh you made a way

When my life is filled with fear and dread

And you made a way

When the impossible loomed over my head

Oh you made a way

When my life is filled with fear and dread

I hear your voice say “Take my hand”

You led me to where I now stand

Oh you make a way….you make a way

Alternate Verse:

The nails they pierced his hands
A crown of thorns ordained his head
A Roman cross his destiny
That you and I we might be free

Alternate Chorus:

You made a way
When the impossible loomed over our head
You made a way
So everyone on Earth can say
Praise be to our God on high!
Forever, Lord, be glorified!

You made a way…you made a way.

Lost with a map

Ya know, now a days, nothing is certain. People don’t commit like they used to. Secure jobs aren’t so secure anymore. We all want the newest, biggest, better gizmo or gadget and we tend not to trust others and rely solely on our own intellect. Childhood drama and office politics build walls and start wars between us. But when the storms of this life come, and they will, whether they be a small spring shower, a hurricane Katrina or onslaught of deadly tornados, we lose hope, vision, passion and sink into the quicksand of despair.

What do I do now?

Where do I go?

When will I get there?

I’ve tried and failed twice now. What good is trying a third time gonna do?

These questions and more are what we ask ourselves, our friends, our family and God. But when we ask God, we usually yell at God because we are angry. We are mad! “How could He do this to me?!” “If the God I serve is a loving God, then He would have warned me that I was going to get let go!” “He would have healed my mother!” We all have our vices, the things that bring us down and shake our world.

Sometimes, instead of getting mad at ourselves, God, other, etc., we crawl into a hole and do nothing. We get lazy because we don’t feel like we are good enough. “I don’t have enough experience so there is no point in applying.” “We don’t have the money.” We make excuses for not following our dreams when we are stuck in a rut. I know I’ve done it!

But you know what? There is a third option. Instead of getting mad at God and yelling at Him and instead of doing nothing, we can seek the guidance of the one who created us! It tells us in Proverbs 2:2-5 that if we “turn our ear to wisdom and apply our hearts to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.”

Basically, by reading the Word of God and applying the teachings of Christ, we become wise. Then, when we cry out to the Lord and seek Him earnestly, He will give us the knowledge we seek and make our paths straight. In the very next chapter in Proverbs, in verses 5-6, it makes that very claim: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”

Maybe you’re currently in one of those ruts. If so, crack open your Bible (Psalms, Proverbs, James, Ephesians and I and II Corinthians are great places to start!) and start receiving the wisdom of the Great I AM! If you are one of the lucky ones who’s life is grand and you couldn’t ask for anything, maybe it’s time you start. Seek the Lord with all your might, that He may use you to give strength to those who need it. Pray that He would use you, a creation of the Most High, to bring glory to is eternal name!

When I Find Myself In Times of Trouble...

Mother Mary does not come to me, but I do find encouragement and strength in her son! The past week or so, I've been quite stressed. I have had a lot on my plate and there have been a lot of quick dramatic changes. At times it feels like I am being pulled in 5000 directions and because of that, I have no direction. I want to do my best at all I do, but if I concentrate on one thing, the other fall by the wayside.

Encouragement is an important thing in our lives, especially in the lives of those in ministry. If we are not continually filled with encouragement and the love of Christ, we will be serving from an empty Well and it will not only be hurt and draining us, but the ones we are serving as well. Sometimes I wonder "How do they do it?!" People like the president or heads of non-profit organizations and other ministries. How on earth do they not just want to give up and say "I'm done! I can't take it anymore!"

Life is stressful and if we give up at the first sign of adversity (in whatever form it may come), then we were not truly devoted to what we were doing in the first place and we were not doing our best and anything less than our best for Christ is a sin. It's not loving God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.

This morning was a rough morning. My wife brought to my attention some things I have been derelict in doing. She was not trying to be mean, but she was trying to help me in my ministry. However, I took it as "Wow Jeff, you really dropped the ball!" Once I left the house, I went to the high school for FCS (Fellowship of Christian Students.) FCS meets every Friday morning at 7:45 for a time of devotion and worship. This morning, however, no one showed up and that just added to my already hurt and saddened spirit. On the way to the office I told myself "Jeff, you have got to perk up! You have the power of Christ flowing through your veins! God has called YOU to minister to these students! He has faith in You, Jeff! Have faith in Him!" Usually that works, but this morning, it didn't and I came into the office looking and feeling like Johnny Rain Cloud.

After sitting in my office for what seemed like an eternity staring at the pictures on my wall from my trips to China and Kenya, I went to my truck and grabbed my bible. Now, in the bookshelf no more than 3 feet from where I was sitting are 13 of my own bibles and another 20 bibles that I give to students who don't have a bible. But I went to my truck to get MY bible. This is the bible I highlight in, underline in. This is my personal bible.

I flipped it open to Acts (where I am currently reading and studying) and read chapter 14. It talked about Paul and Barnabas and their ministries in Iconium, Lystra, Derbe and Antioch. In all these places they spoke with boldness and effectively. God enabled them to do miraculous sings and wonders so the people would believe. But still, in all these cities, there were people who rose up against them. Paul was even stoned and dragged outside the city because he was thought to be dead!

Then, in verses 21-22 is says

"They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. then they returned to Lystra (where Paul was stoned), Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and sncouraging them to remain true to the faith. 'We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God' they said."

After reading that, I was indeed encouraged. I've always known the apostles and disciples were persecuted (Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. - Matthew 5:10-12) but today, reading about it gave me the strength I needed to carry on. Granted, I'm not being stoned and mocked and yelled at by an angry mob, but there are time when I feel inadequate.

Praise be to God! The maker and finisher of all things! He has anointed me, set His seal of ownership on me, and put his Spirit in my heart as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come! (2 Corinthians 1:21b-22) God has made an investment in me! A dude who took 7 years to get a 4 year B.S. in History and Geography! He invested in me! A man who sins and falls way short of His glory! He invested in me! Charles Jeffrey Fyke, a 26 year old with great aspirations and little follow through. The bank may not want to invest in me, but my God does!

Below is the song "Believe" by the band The Letter Black. I just discovered them about a month or two ago and I really like them. They are a bit rocky, so I love playing them with my window rolled down driving down the back roads. lol! I don't know why God has so much faith in me, it will always be a mystery to me. I'll put my faith in the unknown and my hope in God alone!

"Believe"

The Letter Black

Sometimes I feel like I'm alone
Hoping, praying You hear me
Screaming inside to ease the pain
Save me, keep me alive

I'm not afraid anymore
Of what I don''t know
Believe (I put my faith)
In the unknown
Believe (I put my my hope)
In God alone
Have faith in what you don't know

Sometimes I feel like I have to cry
Until my emotions run dry
I'm breaking inside to hide the pain
Save me, keep me alive

I'm not afraid anymore
Of what I don''t know
Believe (I put my faith)
In the unknown
Believe (I put my my hope)
In God alone
Have faith in what you don't know

I know you're here
I can feel you now
I know your love embraces me

I put my faith in the unknown
I put my hope in God alone

Believe (I put my faith)
In the unknown
Believe (I put my my hope)
In God alone
Have faith in what you don't know

(I put my faith in the unknown)
Give up all your sorrow
Have faith in what you don't know
Believe (I put my hope)
In God alone
Have faith in what you don't know
You don't know
