Lord, Help my unbelief
Royston 1946 (Reading)
Help my unbelief, help me trust Your Word
for I believe that You can do it Lord.
You asked me to step out of the boat.
I know that You can keep me afloat.
By looking at You Lord I can step out
though the wind and the waves toss me about.
Whatever comes my way I'll trust You Lord
I know, that I can depend upon your word.
Help me to walk with You like Enoch walked.
Trusting You as we both walked and talked.
I want to walk through life by faith and not by sight,
and be strong in You Lord, and Your great might.
