Doubting Thomas Lyrics - Why Should The Fire Die? - Nickel Creek

What will be left 

When I've drawn my last breath? 

Besides the folks I've met 

And the folks who've known me 

Will I discover a soul-saving love? 

Or just the dirt above and below me 

I'm a Doubting Thomas 

I took a promise 

But I do not feel safe 

Oh, me of little faith 

Sometimes I pray for a slap in the face 

Then I beg to be spared 'cause I'm a coward 

If there's a master of death 

I bet he's holding his breath 

As I show the blind 

And tell the deaf about his power 

I'm a Doubting Thomas 

I can't keep my promises 

'Cause I don't know what's safe 

Oh, me of little faith 

Can I be used to help others find truth? 

When I'm scared, I'll find proof that it's a lie 

Can I be led down a trail dropping bread crumbs 

To prove I'm not ready to die? 

Please give me time 

To decipher the signs 

Please forgive me for time 

That I've wasted 

I'm a Doubting Thomas 

I'll take your promise 

Though I know nothing's safe 

Oh, me of little faith 

Oh, me of little faith
