What Faith Can Do


Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than just what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You do have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Show Me What It Means


You don’t want my perfection
All you ask of me is that I show up broken at your feet
You don’t want my religion
You are looking for devotion that is more than just routine

So show me what it means

To take up my cross and count it all as loss
All for the sake of knowing you
To love my enemies and care for those in need
Show me what it means to follow you

Have I become like the Pharisees
Passing by the needy while I am speking Jesus on my lips
Will I walk with you on raging seas
Or will I turn away when you want more than what I want to give

To love as you love
To live as you lived
To never give up on giving you my life
To love as you love
To live as you lived, to be alive!

So show me what it means

To take up my cross and count it all as loss
All for the sake of knowing you
To love my enemies and care for those in need
Show me what it means to follow you!
