Relational Spirituality

piercepettisWHEN YOU START TO DOUBT IF YOU EXIST
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
CONFOUNDED BY THE EVIDENCE
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
WHEN YOUR CHANCES SEEM SO SLIM
WHEN YOUR LIGHT BURNS SO DIM
AND YOU SWEAR YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU

WHEN YOU RISE UP JUST TO FALL AGAIN
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
DESERTED BY YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
WHEN YOU'RE BETRAYED WITH A KISS
TURN YOUR CHEEK TO ANOTHER KISS
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO END LIKE THIS
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU

EVERYTHING MATTERS
IF ANYTHING MATTERS AT ALL
EVERYTHING MATTERS
NO MATTER HOW BIG
NO MATTER HOW SMALL

WHEN YOU'RE SO ASHAMED
THAT YOU COULD DIE
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
AND YOU CAN'T DO RIGHT
EVEN THOUGH YOU TRY
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU

BLESSED ARE THE ONES WHO GRIEVE
THE ONES WHO MOURN,
THE ONES WHO BLEED
IN SORROW YOU SOW
BUT IN JOY YOU REAP
GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
OH, GOD BELIEVES IN YOU
