I was away only a short while We were frightened, confused, broken All our dreams were hung with Jesus All our plans had been nailed to his cross What would become of us and our families? What if the Romans found us? Could we ever go to temple again?
I had been away to get some food And now they claim to have seen him That he had risen from the dead! And that he even eaten with them! They all must have been imagining Their fear and hunger the cause This I cannot believe!!
They said: He breathed on them Saying “Receive the Holy Spirit” And told them to forgive sins in his name And that they were strengthened They now understood and had found peace I was only gone a short while But this I cannot believe!
This is simply not possible I have heard from those who were there I am full of doubt and confusion Yet, now he comes again “Peace be with You”, he says “Thomas put your finger in my side” I can’t, I am in awe, it is he!!!
“My Lord and My God!” It is you! It is truly you! I believe because I have seen He knows me and my doubts And told me what I needed to hear “Blest are those who believe But have not seen”
Lord Jesus help me to believe Both the seen and the unseen Help me to trust in you And to know That you will be with us always Even until the end of time Your mercy is boundless and forever For indeed Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard What God has ready for those who love him
