I was updating my ID3 data on my mp3 collection, and had a great time going through all of my old CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) that I haven’t listened to for almost 20 years.
I came upon Susan Ashton’s debut album, which was awesome, especially this song, which is written to atheists. Enjoy the lyrics – it’s also beautifully arranged and sung.
You’ve heard the stories
You’ve read the message in the pages
You consider crucifixion: is it fact or fiction for the ages
Did He really appear
Like they say that He did
Does it conquer the fear
Did He die so that we could live
You’d like to think that it’s true.
Oh, But you want to hold the intangible
To fashion the darkness into familiar shape
To see with your eyes
To know in your mind
Oh ye of so little faith
Only the heart, can hold the intangible.
There is a chamber
In the soul of the believer
It holds reason in defiance
The demanding hand of science may not enter.
But let’s just suppose how it would be
To trade all you know
For one ounce of true belief
Then you’d learn the peace of that place.
Oh, But you want to hold the intangible
To fashion the darkness into familiar shape
To see with your eyes
To know in your mind
Oh ye of so little faith
Only the heart, can hold the intangible.
But let’s just suppose how it would be
To trade all you know
For one ounce of true belief
Then you’d learn the peace of that place.
Oh, But you want to hold the intangible
To fashion the darkness into familiar shape
To see with your eyes
To know in your mind
Oh ye of so little faith
Only the heart, can hold the intangible.
You want to hold the intangible.
Oh, you want to hold the intangible…
