Well I'm on the verge of tears now. Thank you Jon for not sugarcoating Christianity the way a lot of other artists do. It's good to know I'm not alone, but I hope we get our answers soon. Don't give up.
I am right there with you Leonida, Jon speaks to me in a way that no other artist does. This one is at the top along with "Vice Verses" and "Where I Belong".
It will get better God does care for you and is for you! Read and pray even when your feelings are against you. You can contact me to talk about this❤️
"I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity." -CS LEWIS I know heaven can seem so impossibly far away sometimes....but one day Jon, one day we'll see Him. Keep running.
@@claire_leah9274 I think this song is a hug from Jon to all others who doubt. I do think the worst is when we stop having doubts... it means we stopped caring. Everyday things keep me doubting but HIS love keeps finding me
Many had joined the religion but what we need is a relationship with God, it is not about going to a church, and less of the kind of religion that is Catholic, Mormon or Christian, we must make him as a father not as authoritarian, he loves us and reconciled with us since the death of Jesus.
Never give up. I was in a cult for over 20 years. Jesus delivered me and so can you be delivered. Seek truth above all else no matter the price. God bless
It’s so encouraging to read this.. I have a similar experience but have a hard time breaking out of it. Don’t know how to. Don’t want my image of Him be defined by the way they lived their faith but yet, still can’t shake it off of myself. This song was so on time and pinpoint worded. And so is your comment, thank you for sharing
@@birdyb3510 it’s hard because your identity is based on the cult and not on Jesus. All you ever have known and your relationships are ties to that place. You just have to decide what’s more important Jesus and the truth or living and contributing to the lies of the cult. You can come out of it but it takes prayer and action. Be willing to give it all up for Jesus. He won’t let you go through It alone. God bless
@@birdyb3510 I have never been in a cult, but I can offer this advice if you would like it: when it comes to the person of Jesus, it’s easy to make Him in our image (or someone else’s) when in reality- it is Him that reveals Himself to us. We can go to Him in prayer and ask Him to show himself to us. We can encounter Jesus in the Bible. I like to pick a passage and meditate on it and ask Him to reveal Himself to me through it. It is really hard to undo the thinking that others have imbued into us, but I promise if you work at it, you may find that it is the Lord who will be continuing to make you in his image by the end of it! I’d like to end with one of my favorite quotes from C.S. Lewis: “I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.” God bless!
@@Hmfirestormz thank you for your comment, and yes that’s definitely true! I haven’t been my whole life in that movement and it probably wouldn’t be as bad as your experiences, but nevertheless my relationship with Him before I got there was so intimate and look at what’s left now. I know it’s gonna be alright but like you said it takes a lot of effort, prayer and making decisions. That’s why I got really encouraged by your comment to be reminded it is possible though:) Thank you and God bless
@@AN-cr9cy that’s a beautiful quote thank you for sharing! You’re right. The art is indeed to divide the things others imbued on us with the authentic relationship between you and Jesus itself. Hard, but essential. Thank you for your insightful words:) and be blessed 🕊
This song feels like a tense knot unwinding and releasing. Somehow, an honest prayer like this makes me feel that Jesus is even closer, and responding with a loving, “Yes. I am here.”
Lyrics: [Verse 1] Jesus. I’m sorry bout last night. Jesus. We both know I tried Jesus. Feels like the worlds in pieces I know you got your reasons But I have my doubts Jesus, I have my doubts [Chorus] When everything that’s right feels wrong And all of my belief feels gone And the darkness in my heart is so strong Can you reach me here in the silence? Singing these broken songs Looking for the light for so long But the pain goes on and on and on Can you reach me here in the silence? [Verse 2] Jesus. What a week we’ve had Jesus. Has the world gone mad? Jesus. Feels like the worlds in pieces I'm sure you've got your reasons But I’ve got my doubts Jesus, I’ve got my doubts [Bridge] Are you there? Can you hear me? Do you care? Are you near me? Cause I’m scared and I’m weary Are you there? Can you hear me? Are you there? [Refrain] I have my doubts.
When the best prayers come from our very belly ..... the midnight hour, and whenever else it's absolutely still, with nothing able to barge its way in.
I really, really needed this right now. Everything that is going on right now. It’s hard to be a Christian, an American, etc.-heck, it’s hard to be a person! It’s a struggle dealing with all the crazy happenings in the past year and I ask God all the time “what on earth am I supposed to do with all this pain and anxiety?” And I haven’t really gotten a clear answer back yet. I think the first place to begin is to not run from the doubts, but to give them to Jesus. We’ll figure out what to do with them at a later time. But right now in this moment, it’s about letting go...
Hello emma. I would recommend just keep praying to God. Be ceaseless in prayer. God will help you. And remember the verse, "come to me who are weary and I'll give you peace". Just hold on to Jesus. He is there with you right now. He brought you this far, He will not drop you now!!
If you haven't already, please ask Jesus to come into your life. His mercy knows no bounds. He will not refuse you if you call upon him. This for me, is heart knowledge and though head knowledge is important, enlightenment comes when we open our hearts to Christ and ask God to forgive and save us and save us in Jesus name.
This is a masterpiece. A song of lament and struggle. Of honesty and pain. We live in a noisy world. A world in which it seems like the wicked prevail and the righteous are downtrodden. Where everything we know to be right feels as though it is wrong. It's ok to have doubts. It's ok to just be hanging on by your fingernails. Just know that Jesus can meet you in, even in the silence of your doubts.
Jesus, I'm sorry 'bout last night Jesus, we both know I tried Jesus, feels like the world's in pieces I'm sure You've got Your reasons But I have my doubts Jesus, I have my doubts When everything that's right feels wrong And all of my belief feels gone And the darkness in my heart is so strong Can You reach me here in the silence?

I will never need to become an artist because you say everything I feel inside already. Switch foot and you are my favorite bands for 20+ years. I appreciate your vulnerability in music. I think Jesus uses you even in your doubts.
Acceptance. Acceptance in full surrender to everything that’s happening and rest in doubts and uncertainty. It’s ok to not be ok because God is in control. No matter what happens, God wins and therefore we all win.

Dear Jesus . . . When You said, “Will I find any Faith on the earth,” please help my Faith, help me keep the Faith, nurture Faith in You, Protect Faith in You, in who You are, what You’ve already done, are doing and will do, dear Jesus, SAVIOUR! King of Glory, Great High Priest! Good Shepherd! Lord over all, You Jesus who keeps all things held together. Help us Jesus! Trust 👑
'God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah ' Psalm 46:1-7 ESV
Doubts will always come, they won't stop coming to our minds but last year I really and finally learned that Jesus is really with me, there is no one else who cares about me like he does, nobody loves me like he does, I learned that he is my father and that I am his child even when I think I am not, even when I fail even when I doubt, when I am tired of believing, he is there and he knows better, he would never leave, how could a loving and caring father leave his child alone, or stop caring about his child, we never would, so he less, believe it, he's there, he loves you, he cares, he hears you, he understands you more than anyone would, he knows that feeling, he's with you even when you feel unworthy and he would never blame you for feeling that way. God loves you 💖
Hi everyone,i'm from Colombia,i try to understand the song without lyrics,i listened and my heart wants to talk with God in my room,thankyou Jon,sería chevre que vinieran a Colombia con switchfoot a Bogotá soy fan de sus canciones y las letras me ayudan mucho.
I know this feeling. Trusting God when there doesn’t seem to any good in a situation and you just have to accept it and move forward with the life God has placed before you. “Can you reach me here in the silence”
Love this song!! The first time I heard It, I fell for the raw emotion here. I have been a Believer most of my life, but became a true follower 24 years ago. This song touched me! I really like how it can talk to us no matter where we are in life. Whether we are “Believers” or on the fence, or it’s non-existent; Jesus will meet us right where we are at. This is good and it can grab someone’s attn. if we let it. Good job Jon F. 🙌🏻♥️
I don’t know if I just felt in love with this song or if I desperately wanna run and hug this guy while we pray. He can hear you, Jon. He cares, Jon. He’s near. I promise with all my heart that you’re not alone.
Jon your songs are a prophetic voice for my generation from the opening act for Dogwood at PLNU to when I met you once when I was helping with sound for a Fiction Family show at North Central’s Union. I told you then how important your solo work was for me and the students I was pastoring. This song is just another example of how God has been using your prophetic voice to call out a hopeful lament to a broken people for decades. You have given words to our pain. Thank you.
I was at this exact point in my faith a few years ago. I know exactly how this prayer goes. My faith didn't survive the doubts and I let go of a lot of my beliefs. It still hurts sometimes when I reflect on those times. Keep searching Jon and find the truth.
Hello, my friend, My broken heart is next to your broken heart in that place where hearts go while they shatter. My heart has been there so many times that it thought about moving in .. but it eventually finds it's way out thru the blood & pain it beats back into the rhythm of me and I am greatful to have it.. and life. Hold on. Hold on
I feel like you know my ❤. Never would have believed Jon Foreman felt these feelings. I'm not so ashamed anymore knowing I'm in such good company. We all have our doubts at times.Thank you, I love you for being so real!
I am so grateful that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is difficult to be so raw and honest like this. It is comforting. Thank you. Connection , love and peace to you!
Man, this is a powerfully honest song. If anything, this past year has taught me that it’s okay to struggle with various doubts. Faith is often stronger & deeper b/c of the struggle.
Wow.... this pretty much says it all on how I feel about religion... I want so badly to believe.. but I have so many doubts... Been that way all my life... Finally a song that says how I feel on this topic.. and to think I came across this song by accident, I didn't even look for it but I'm glad I found it... This song really spoke to me.. you've earned my sub, Mr. Foreman. Thanks for this...
It's ok to doubt, we are but human. Even in our questions and our striving to believe God is still with us. He always hears you and He is always the Answer. Faith is simply believing when you can't see the Truth, when you feel lost and disconnected God will give you the grace to still believe. Run to Him, doubts and all, and He will welcome you with open arms. He has been pursuing you for eternity and He wants you to rest in Him.
@@Leebelle52 HALLELUJAH! YOU SAID IT MY SISTER! So easy to run from the only One Who can help us through loving us infinitely. Worthy is Your Name, Jesus🙏
Yes Exactly how I’m feeling Staying sober Has not been successful Medicating numbs everything Family is rejective Kids take me for granted Church ppl are clueless to my pain I sit alone on Sundays I just wanna hide
Jon, I discovered your music only three years ago, by chance. But now I am here listining to your words with the respect and the attention they deserve. You have a gift and you really know how to pray. God bless you from Italy!
So beautifully honest and heart felt all the way! I don't care how long or strong someone's faith is, we all have these moments! Thank you for being real & relatable and allowing all our heart's to be heard thru your songs!
Our savior Jesus Christ is definitely there for all of us!! Thank you John Foreman for giving voice to our doubts that often we hide and act as if we are ok!! Listening regularly your songs from NEPAL
Having doubts is unfortunately innate with a relationship led by faith. It is outside of our human condition to believe as children. Telling someone not to have doubts is like telling them to stop looking at things. It's just not gonna happen. Getting through those doubts though and finding affirmation in Christ on the other side of the struggle. That will happen through increased faith and it's a beautiful thing.
@@Ghost0fDespair God bless you as well 🙂 didn’t see this reply til now lol. But even David doubted. He doubted and had no shame in screaming at the heavens and was doubly rewarded by God and titled a Man after Gods own heart by God himself. I’m sorry, but the curse of sin causes doubt to be part of our human nature. I wish it weren’t so. Faith is a journey, not a suddenly filled cup.
I know where this came from. Honest prayer in the midst of this horrible COVID that keeps dragging on & keeping us from the life we know. We wonder about the reasons everyday but so much good has come out of it too. Much Love & keep writing. We need more.
Amidst the chaos we have more of a reason to come together now more then ever. As we have all had our doubts now more then ever, our bond is our support. Our love is our strength. For doubt is the path walked by the non believer. We believe, we love, we bond ,and we move forward ❤️
This is beautiful. You have captured the time we're in perfectly. I pray that you're ok..this has to be hard in you. Thank you for more beautiful music to help sustain us. ❤
This is relatable with the results of America and the election. I need Jesus to help me with my doubts not just in the country, but also in my personal life.
I realy love you Brother Jon.... Thank you so much for your music... You have been sit down at my side with your beatiful voice in hard moments, I know that Jesús is here near to me, and is there near to you... ❤️
Hey man don’t give up. Everyone has questions. Hard to make sense of some of the hard questions. Something that really helped me is the cross examined RUclips channel. Blessings Jon, Jesus loves you
@@HG-ey6gu I failed high school myself but asked for understanding from God. Seek and you will find. You temporarily having questions isn’t surprising to the lord, he is prepared for you to struggle and he offers a way out. He wants us to seek for him. Again check out cross examined on RUclips! Helped me to understand my faith so much more
Need a good cry in the morning, thanks Jon. Nothing like a TRUE SONG FROM THE HEART. Brutal in honesty and gentle in its delivery...PERFECTION. I needed that more than you know, LOVE YOU Brother.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah '
Psalm 46:1-7
ESV
I really needed to read this Psalm right now. Thank you.
Doubts will always come, they won't stop coming to our minds but last year I really and finally learned that Jesus is really with me, there is no one else who cares about me like he does, nobody loves me like he does, I learned that he is my father and that I am his child even when I think I am not, even when I fail even when I doubt, when I am tired of believing, he is there and he knows better, he would never leave, how could a loving and caring father leave his child alone, or stop caring about his child, we never would, so he less, believe it, he's there, he loves you, he cares, he hears you, he understands you more than anyone would, he knows that feeling, he's with you even when you feel unworthy and he would never blame you for feeling that way. God loves you 💖
AMEN 🙏
Jesus is within you, Jon. When you sing and perform He comes out powerfully. God bless
I love this song! It is a transparent relationship with God. ❤️
Hi everyone,i'm from Colombia,i try to understand the song without lyrics,i listened and my heart wants to talk with God in my room,thankyou Jon,sería chevre que vinieran a Colombia con switchfoot a Bogotá soy fan de sus canciones y las letras me ayudan mucho.
I know this feeling. Trusting God when there doesn’t seem to any good in a situation and you just have to accept it and move forward with the life God has placed before you.
“Can you reach me here in the silence”
I have uttered similar prayers in troubling times and Jesus meets me in my sorrow.
This is the reality. Jesus knows. He already knows.
Thank God His arms
Are long✨
HE CAN REACH ME,
Even when I'm too
weak to lift my hands,
He CAN reach me here.
Its the emotion speaking... anyone who has faith but feels hopeless can relate 💯
True emotion. True feeling. True reality. Struggling through walking by faith and not by sight. Thanks once again.
Jon Jesus loves you, continue with beautiful songs for him and he will do his best for you, God bless you
Love this song!! The first time I heard It, I fell for the raw emotion here. I have been a Believer most of my life, but became a true follower 24 years ago. This song touched me! I really like how it can talk to us no matter where we are in life. Whether we are “Believers” or on the fence, or it’s non-existent; Jesus will meet us right where we are at. This is good and it can grab someone’s attn. if we let it. Good job Jon F. 🙌🏻♥️
Thanks be to God. Praise the Lord for giving you bravery in sharing this song to encourage those who are in doubts.
I don’t know if I just felt in love with this song or if I desperately wanna run and hug this guy while we pray. He can hear you, Jon. He cares, Jon. He’s near. I promise with all my heart that you’re not alone.
The best songwriter on the planet
Jon your songs are a prophetic voice for my generation from the opening act for Dogwood at PLNU to when I met you once when I was helping with sound for a Fiction Family show at North Central’s Union. I told you then how important your solo work was for me and the students I was pastoring. This song is just another example of how God has been using your prophetic voice to call out a hopeful lament to a broken people for decades. You have given words to our pain. Thank you.
‘Hopeful lament.’ Love that.
Lord please lead us and guide us. We can't live without you 🙏
That song has been my prayer...
I was at this exact point in my faith a few years ago. I know exactly how this prayer goes. My faith didn't survive the doubts and I let go of a lot of my beliefs. It still hurts sometimes when I reflect on those times. Keep searching Jon and find the truth.
Feeling this song today after the death of a friend. Feeling all the feels, numb and heartbroken. Thanks Jon.
Hello, my friend, My broken heart is next to your broken heart in that place where hearts go while they shatter. My heart has been there so many times that it thought about moving in .. but it eventually finds it's way out thru the blood & pain it beats back into the rhythm of me and I am greatful to have it.. and life. Hold on. Hold on
I know I'm a bit late, but I hope you are doing well. Just ask God for His perfect peace, and He'll provide. God bless!
@@JersAltAccount Hi Jericho, Thanks it was very nice of you to respond however late.
@@rlday1845 Wow. That *is* raw.
I feel like you know my ❤. Never would have believed Jon Foreman felt these feelings. I'm not so ashamed anymore knowing I'm in such good company. We all have our doubts at times.Thank you, I love you for being so real!
And then you felt God's embrace at the end of the song.
I am so grateful that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is difficult to be so raw and honest like this. It is comforting. Thank you. Connection , love and peace to you!
That's a very honest song and for most of us those is what we say in our hearts. Thank you for voicing it and putting it out there
Man, this is a powerfully honest song. If anything, this past year has taught me that it’s okay to struggle with various doubts. Faith is often stronger & deeper b/c of the struggle.
"Dear GOD, I am nit sure if you are REAL,.....but if THIS is my END tgen I say THANK YOU as this might be ALL I have time to say 😎❤😎
Now is the time to run to God not away. He knows shat He is doing. This is where we have to truly trust and walk by faith and not by sight.
Wow.... this pretty much says it all on how I feel about religion... I want so badly to believe.. but I have so many doubts... Been that way all my life... Finally a song that says how I feel on this topic.. and to think I came across this song by accident, I didn't even look for it but I'm glad I found it... This song really spoke to me.. you've earned my sub, Mr. Foreman. Thanks for this...
It's ok to doubt, we are but human. Even in our questions and our striving to believe God is still with us. He always hears you and He is always the Answer. Faith is simply believing when you can't see the Truth, when you feel lost and disconnected God will give you the grace to still believe. Run to Him, doubts and all, and He will welcome you with open arms. He has been pursuing you for eternity and He wants you to rest in Him.
@@Leebelle52 HALLELUJAH! YOU SAID IT MY SISTER! So easy to run from the only One Who can help us through loving us infinitely.
Worthy is Your Name, Jesus🙏
@@Leebelle52 Wow! Something I really need to see right now... God bless You
I belive in God, not so much in organized religion anymore. Jon speaks to me in a way no other artist does.
I’m with you
I am weary
My heart.. my mind... my thoughts... in one song ❤
I feel this so deeply.
I Love You, Jon.
Yes
Exactly how I’m feeling
Staying sober
Has not been successful
Medicating numbs everything
Family is rejective
Kids take me for granted
Church ppl are clueless to my pain
I sit alone on Sundays
I just wanna hide
I'm here for ya! Feeling the same
Alone as usual
Jon, I discovered your music only three years ago, by chance. But now I am here listining to your words with the respect and the attention they deserve. You have a gift and you really know how to pray. God bless you from Italy!
So beautifully honest and heart felt all the way! I don't care how long or strong someone's faith is, we all have these moments! Thank you for being real & relatable and allowing all our heart's to be heard thru your songs!
Damn. I love all of his music, but I wasn't expecting this at all. Great song
Same, this was beautiful. Got tears welling up in my eyes listening.
Our savior Jesus Christ is definitely there for all of us!!
Thank you John Foreman for giving voice to our doubts that often we hide and act as if we are ok!!
Listening regularly your songs from NEPAL
Your the angel John foreman
I kinda can't stop listening to this. 💔
Don't have doubts.
Trust God with all thine heart❤
Having doubts is unfortunately innate with a relationship led by faith. It is outside of our human condition to believe as children. Telling someone not to have doubts is like telling them to stop looking at things. It's just not gonna happen. Getting through those doubts though and finding affirmation in Christ on the other side of the struggle. That will happen through increased faith and it's a beautiful thing.
@@enemyofzestate8136 🙏🏻❤ God bless you❤
@@enemyofzestate8136 It's not innate. Then you don't have a relationship lead by faith.
If you truly are lead by faith, you don't have doubt.
@@Ghost0fDespair God bless you as well 🙂 didn’t see this reply til now lol. But even David doubted. He doubted and had no shame in screaming at the heavens and was doubly rewarded by God and titled a Man after Gods own heart by God himself. I’m sorry, but the curse of sin causes doubt to be part of our human nature. I wish it weren’t so. Faith is a journey, not a suddenly filled cup.
@@enemyofzestate8136 It can be what God wants it to be🙏🏼
Thank you. Jon, you and David will have much to talk about in heaven
My soul sang with yours✝️💚🎼🕊
I know where this came from. Honest prayer in the midst of this horrible COVID that keeps dragging on & keeping us from the life we know. We wonder about the reasons everyday but so much good has come out of it too. Much Love & keep writing. We need more.
Amidst the chaos we have more of a reason to come together now more then ever. As we have all had our doubts now more then ever, our bond is our support. Our love is our strength. For doubt is the path walked by the non believer. We believe, we love, we bond ,and we move forward ❤️
This is beautiful. You have captured the time we're in perfectly. I pray that you're ok..this has to be hard in you. Thank you for more beautiful music to help sustain us. ❤
on you..
This is relatable with the results of America and the election. I need Jesus to help me with my doubts not just in the country, but also in my personal life.
I mean the results of the election is the only thing God came through for as of late. I'm thankful for that.
@@vacuumblink2300 Someone doesn't understand politics at all...nice. There's nothing Jesus would approve of that government does.
Jon, can you hear me? You aren't alone... move over.
GOD BLESS YOU JONATHAN
Luv u little brother in Jesus!
SAME...but holding onto hope anyway. 💔
Exactly this
Jesus I love you very much ❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️
I realy love you Brother Jon.... Thank you so much for your music... You have been sit down at my side with your beatiful voice in hard moments, I know that Jesús is here near to me, and is there near to you... ❤️
Hey man don’t give up. Everyone has questions. Hard to make sense of some of the hard questions. Something that really helped me is the cross examined RUclips channel. Blessings Jon, Jesus loves you
Yes I also have a hard time at school I miss many materials , it is frustrating but I believe in god and I always keep my head up high.
@@HG-ey6gu I failed high school myself but asked for understanding from God. Seek and you will find. You temporarily having questions isn’t surprising to the lord, he is prepared for you to struggle and he offers a way out. He wants us to seek for him. Again check out cross examined on RUclips! Helped me to understand my faith so much more
@@0987__ thank you and I know it sounds weird but you can check out legendary by skilit, they are an American Christian rock band,
@Pee Pee, agreed
Need a good cry in the morning, thanks Jon. Nothing like a TRUE SONG FROM THE HEART. Brutal in honesty and gentle in its delivery...PERFECTION. I needed that more than you know, LOVE YOU Brother.
Woah! It’s like he is in my head! Love this song ❤️
Direto no coração! Muito lindo esse hino, nos toca bem no íntimo.
What a beautiful song with such profound lyrics!
Help me Jesus
Masterpiece!
This is SO anointed. Wow.
Love love love this song
It's as relevant as if you wrote it this morning...
Obrigado, Jon.
WOW! Jon, You always know what to say, Love you, Brother!
Can you reach me here in the silence?
Very beautiful song ❤️
Lyrics:
Jesus, I'm sorry 'bout last night
Jesus, we both know I tried
Jesus, feels like the world's in pieces
I'm sure You've got Your reasons
But I have my doubts
Jesus, I have my doubts
When everything that's right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
But the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Jesus, what a week we've had?
Jesus, has the world gone mad?
Jesus, feels like the world's in pieces
I'm sure You've got Your reasons
But I've got my doubts
Jesus, I've got my doubts
Jesus, I've got my doubts
When everything that's right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
But the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Are You there? Can You hear me?
Do You care? Are You near me?
'Cause I'm scared and I'm weary
Are You there? Can You hear me?
Are You there? Can You hear me?
Do You care? Are You near me?
'Cause I'm scared and I'm weary
Are You there?
When everything that's right feels wrong
And all of my belief feels gone
And the darkness in my heart is so strong
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Singing these broken songs
Looking for the light for so long
And the pain goes on and on and on
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Can You reach me here in the silence?
Can You reach me here in the silence?
I have my doubts
Thank you so much for this song, Jon.
When the Bridge hits,.. wow..
