You're all so wrong in what this song really means. Chris is obviously struggling to believe in Jesus, and although things get tough for him, he realizes that they are mundane and not spiritual. As unaccepted and morally wrong he feels about not believing, he feels he needs a tangible reason - something more than philosophy to be able to believe. Because he's never found that, he begs for "God" to reveal himself. As much as he wants to drain himself from doubt, he knows, in the end, he's right for being a nonbeliever, because spiritualism doesn't click for him. He wants for God to take his "disbelief", but it "remains inside of" him, and eventually "convinces" him he's right.
No way. The lyrics point to him believing. He just is having the usual doubts any man/woman has when it comes to faith. He's been tested and he's begging God to show himself more clearly so he will have no doubt. I don't read anything non-spiritual into the lyrics; he sounds like a typical fallible Christian. If he didn't believe, he wouldn't be working so hard to get God to give him a sign, so to speak.

THANK you! I can't believe everyone else is having such a hard time understanding this! It's so simple and obvious. People look too deeply into lyrics sometimes...

That's an interesting take, however, in all probability, incorrect. Disbelief and doubt are a huge part of anyone who puts their faith in Christ. Chris is no exception. Doubt doesn't disappear the day you accept the truth - it remains within and will continue to battle you until the day you see Christ face to face.
