no more faith

Another Andrew Peterson song.
I've always loved this one... Darin has no need for faith... or hope... He's in the presence of God. What he hoped for... what He had faith in has been revealed - but the love remains... the love overflows.
When the grief becomes unbearable, I try to picture him... covered in love. Like when you see the sun rays shining down through a small opening in clouds... it looks like God's spotlight on something... warming it with His intense love. I see Darin standing there...maybe lying there... just basking in it - the amazing warmth of that perfect love... feeling peaceful and perfect.
That vision gives me peace.

"This is not another song about the mountains
Except about how hard they are to move
Have you ever stood before them
Like a mustard seed who's waiting for some proof?

I say faith is a burden
It's a weight to bear
It's brave and bittersweet
And hope is hard to hold to
Lord, I believe
Only help my unbelief

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
That only love remains
Have you heard it said that Jesus is the answer
And thought about the many doubts you hide
Have you wondered how he loves you
If He really knows how dark you are inside

I say faith is a burden
It's a weight to bear
It's brave and bittersweet
And hope is hard to hold to
Lord, I believe
Only help my unbelief

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
When there's no more faith
And no more hope
I'll sing your praise and let them go
'cause only love
Only love remains

So I will drive these roads in thunder and in rain
And I will sing your song at the top of my lungs
And I will praise you, Lord, in glory and in pain
And I will follow you till this race is won
And I will drive these roads till this motor won't run
And I will sing your song from sea to shining sea
And I will praise you Lord, till your kingdom comes
And I will follow where you lead

Till there's no more faith
No more hope
I'll see your face and Lord, I'll know
When there's no more faith
And no more hope
I'll sing your praise and let them go
'cause only love
Only love remains"

-Andrew Peterson "No More Faith"

'til i see Darin again and Your face, Lord... I will praise You.
