Help Me Believe Lyrics

Cover art for Help Me Believe lyrics by Nichole Nordeman

Beautiful song about asking God to help her to believe in the miracles He has done and can do in her life, instead of trusting so much in the things we can see and are seen as rational. Her lyrics and the music make a wonderful song.

In the first verse, she has a desire to have her childlike mind back, where she could more easily believe in Him in contrast to what we tend to view as "silly dreams". The second verse is about the stories she has been told in the bible and how they actually make more sense to her and are easier to understand than science, which "crushes underneath". Then the bridge is about her being disappointed in the fact that what other people who think they are well-informed tell her she actually believes, but she knows that if she got rid of that God would give her the faith He knows she wants. The chorus is where she asks for God to take away the "grown-up skin" that seems to get in the way of their relationship and her faith in him.
