A Little Mustard Seed Faith

A Song I Wrote


Verse 1

There is a darkness everyone must face
It tries to fool our minds into a terrifying place
And that darkness attempts to keep us out of the light
Desperately we try to fight it
With all of our might

Doubt and fear, the scary place
That the human race must daily face
Full of lies, the serpent slithers and crawls
Telling me
I can’t; when I can
That I will do something repulsive, proving I am an immoral man
That God and man will not accept me when they see my flaws
That danger is about to happen, despite no evidence or due cause
The voice of the serpent terrifies me as he slithers and crawls
Trying to destroy our freedoms
He never sleeps
This blinding night will cover everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light

With all my heart and soul, I beg and plead
God, give us all the faith of a mustard seed
You know that is what we desperately need

Chorus

A little mustard seed faith will make us strong
We need to grow it by studying your Word all day long
Believing in truth is what we desire
Help us have the courage to stand in the fire
A little mustard seed faith is what we definitely need
Please, God, give us some; I beg and plead

Verse 2

When the giants come to tyrannize me today
I have two options concerning doubt and fear they sayBe like David, who courageously believed and was totally reliant
On our omnipotent God who helped David defeat his giant
David had mustard seed faith, also making him fit to be a king
Doubt and fear didn’t deter David from doing everything

Peter’s success wasn’t exactly the same
In playing the doubt and fear game
Peter initially walked on water until he shouted
“Jesus, I am going to sink because I doubted”
Doubt and fear took Peter’s eyes off Jesus and onto the waves
Peter suddenly believed he was heading to early graves

I don’t want to doubt like Peter and be crippled by fear
I want to see myself as an overcomer like David when I look in the mirror.
As we face our life giants every day
Please, God, make us into warriors I pray
Only through You can we make it through this dark night
Make our faith shine like a bright light
To this world, consumed by doubt and fear
I don’t want to witness another person shed another tear
They need to believe that God is near
They also need to believe victory is here

Chorus


A little mustard seed faith will make us strong
We need to grow it by studying your Word all day long
Believing in truth is what we desire
Help us have the courage to stand in the fire
A little mustard seed faith is what we definitely need
Please, God, give us some; I beg and plead

Verse 3

Over the past few years
Concerning doubts and fears
My mustard seed faith is learning to trust the God who really loves me
Today I hope to be an inspiration for the world to see
I urgently want to say
These words to everyone today:
“As you face your life giant, don’t believe in defeat.
Nothing is impossible with God, every giant can be beat
God is always faithful, we can be free
Always be brave and courageous, live fearlessly
Don’t be afraid. Next to God, your giant is smaller than He
No matter the giant
If you are reliant
Through God, you can win tonight
Keep taking another step in the light
Until you finally win the fight”
With mustard seed faith, confidently walk in the light

Chorus


A little mustard seed faith will make us strong
We need to grow it by studying your Word all day long
Believing in truth is what we desire
Help us have the courage to stand in the fire
A little mustard seed faith is what we definitely need
Please, God, give us some; I beg and plead

Verse 4

Uncertain of the future, fear tries to anticipate
We can’t be anxious about the life we are to create
Only God knows absolutely what lies ahead
Trust in His goodness as you go to bed
Sovereign God only allows things for our ultimate good
His mercy protects us more than He should
When you doubt, question the validity of your fears
Surrender to Abba Father your anxieties of the coming years
Pray for strength to live victoriously
Don’t be afraid to become the person you were meant to be

Chorus


A little mustard seed faith will make us strong
We need to grow it by studying your Word all day long
Believing in truth is what we desire
Help us have the courage to stand in the fire
A little mustard seed faith is what we definitely need
Please, God, give us some. I beg and plead
