What I Know
Tricia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything's been so confusing
Fear got the best of me
Now I'm lying here
Worried about tomorrow
'Cause the weight of everything I don't know
Is so heavy I can't sleep
Even when I don't know what to pray
But what I know
Is You my God are real
No matter how I feel
You've never let me go
But what I know
Is there will never be a day
You aren't just a breath away
And through it all I've gotta hold
To what I know
I could throw my fist in the air
Demanding answers
But despite of all the questions
I'm still giving You my life
And if it doesn't turn out like I think it should
It doesn't change the fact You're always good
Your ways are higher than mine
To love that's never failing
To hope that keeps on saying
Carry on
Carry on

This is a good song to remind me to never lose your faith in God. We just need to trust that he's there. He might not come when we want him, but he's right on time. We as Believers find our hope in God, but I've always wondered where non believers turn to in times of fear or doubt.
