NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Doubting Thomas

"Doubting Thomas"



What will be left when I've drawn my last breath

Besides the folks I've met and the folks who've known me

Will I discover a soul-saving love

Or just the dirt above and below me



I'm a doubting Thomas

I took a promise

But I do not feel safe

Oh me of little faith



Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face

Then I beg to be spared cause I'm a coward

If there's a master of death

I bet he's holding his breath

As I show the blind and tell the deaf about his power



I'm a doubting Thomas

I can't keep my promises

Cause I don't know what's safe

Oh me of little faith



Can I be used to help others find truth

When I'm scared I'll find proof that it's a lie

Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs

That prove I'm not ready to die



Please give me time to decipher the signs

Please forgive me for time that I've wasted



I'm a doubting Thomas

I'll take your promise

Though I know nothin's safe

Oh me of little faith
