Intro
(listen to the timing)
Verse 1
It's well past midnight
And I'm awake with questions that won't
Wait for daylight
/C
Separating fact from my imaginary fiction
On this shelf of my conviction
I need to find a place
Where You and I come face to face
Verse 2
Thomas needed
Proof that You had really risen
Undefeated
When he placed his fingers
/C C#
Where the nails once broke Your skin
Did his faith finally begin?
I've lied if I've denied
The common ground I've shared with him
CHORUS
And I, I really want to know You
I want to make each day
/C
A different way that I can show You how
I really want to love You
Be patient with my doubt
/C /C
I'm just tryin' to figure out Your will
And I really want to know You still
Verse 3
Nicodemus
Could not understand how You could
Truly free us
(no chord)
He struggled with the image
Of a grown man born again
We might have been good friends
Cuz sometimes I still question, too
How easily we come to You
CHORUS
Bridge
No more campin' on the porch of indecision
/C
No more sleepin' under stars of apathy
And it might be easier to dream
But dreamin's not for me
CHORUS
(ENDING-Db and Ab alternate for the rest of the song.)
