Songfacts®:

• This song adresses a common critique of Christianity: If God is so good and loving, why does He let so many bad things happen? It's aimed at folks who are struggling with their belief.
  
  "It's that faith thing of, 'Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief,'" Ceili Rain leader Bob Halligan, Jr. said in a Songfacts interview. "It's that part of us that can't help but doubt sometimes."
  
  He added: "It's like how Doubting Thomas had to put his hand into Jesus' side to feel the wound. There are so many occasions in our lives where our hand was put into a place to show us. Faith is a tricky business and one has to keep at it. That song is an exhortation to oneself and to anyone listening. Believe the best you can."
• Ceili (pronounced "Kay-lee") Rain is a Celtic band with a Christian influence. You would never guess that its founder, Bob Halligan, Jr., wrote the Judas Priest song "Some Heads Are Gonna Roll."
  
  In the early '80s, Halligan had a band called Pictures. They didn't make it, but he got a publishing deal and became a top heavy metal tunesmith, also placing songs with Kix, Blue Öyster Cult, and Kiss. In the '90s, he took a turn toward pop music ("Could've Been You" by Cher) and CCM ("Giving You The Rest Of My Life" by Bob Carlisle) before forming Ceili Rain in 1995.
