One of my favorite songs is "Secret of the Easy Yoke" by Pedro the Lion (off the "It's Hard to Find a Friend" album). I tried to find an HTML link to it, but I don't think one exists. Anyhow, the lyrics are below. To me, it's a song about questioning God when we don't feel Him. The lyric that strikes me the most is "if all that's left is duty, i'm falling on my sword. At least then I wouldn't serve an unseen distant Lord". In other words, if I don't feel God, then I'm done with this faith/following you business... It's a gut wrenchingly honest song that I've related to during different seasons of my life. Yet, I've learned to trust God even through these seasons.

Check it out below, I would love to hear your thoughts.
.
i could hear the church bells ringing
they pealed aloud your praise
the members faces were smiling
with their hands out stretched to shake
it's true they did not move me
my heart was hard and tired
their perfect fire annoyed me
i could not find you anywhere
.
(Chorus) could someone please tell me the story
of sinners ransomed from the fall
i still have never seen you
and some days i don't love you at all
.
the devoted were wearing bracelets
to remind them why they came
some concrete motivation
when the abstract could not do the same
but if all that's left is duty
i'm falling on my sword
at least then i would not serve
an unseen distant lord
..
(Chorus) could someone please tell me the story
of sinners ransomed from the fall
i still have never seen you
and some days i don't love you at all
.
if this is ony a test
i hope that i'm passing
cause i'm losing steam
and i still want to trust you
.
peace, be still... peace, be still... peace, be still...
