If Nobody Believed in You
I watched him take the two strike call:
He hadn't tried to swing at all.
I guess he'd had all he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father's voice was loud an' mean:
"You won't amount to anything."
That little boy quit tryin',
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
That old man said: "One more try"
"I know I'm not too old to drive,
"I promise, son, I'll do my best,
"This time, I'm gonna pass the test."
"Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in."
His father never drove again.
That old man quit tryin',
He just turned away.
An' there were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
We take His name out of the schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can't be writ,
An' under God, should not be said.
I wonder how much He will take.
I just pray it's not too late.
What if God quit tryin',
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you
Listen very closely to this verse:
We take His name out of the schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can't be writ,
An' under God, should not be said.
I wonder how much He will take.
I just pray it's not too late.
What if God quit tryin',
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
This post was inspired by a comment Dan left on Lily's Blog. The fact that we nailed the son of God to a tree and constantly denie him in our sin, but he still choses to love us, he doesn't give up, and he doesn't say that he isn't "ready to make nice". For that I am truely grateful. That shows me the awesome and phenomenal love, grace and forgiveness that God blesses us with everyday. This song represents, to me, what we give God full rights to do with our words, thoughts and actions, to just give up, quit, and spend eternity with hiself. But like i said and I can never say it enough, I am so so so grateful that he choses to stand by and pursue us everyday and love us everyday and forgive us continually. I'm thankful he isn't giving up on us.
