Lyrics
IT’S YOUR FAITH (Janis Kelly © 2020)
I’ve been down about as far as I could go
Been as lost as I could be
Caught inside a wave of pain and suffering
Couldn’t find my way to free
Till the day I gave up swimming ‘gainst the tide
And I got down on my knees
Prayed for guidance, grace to reach the other shore
This is what You said to me
"It’s your faith that sees you through
To the light inside of you
To my love that shines--
In you!”
Just like Jonah in the belly of the whale
Just like Job’s adversity
Just like Moses wandering through the wilderness
Crying, “Lord, where can you be?”
You may think your burden’s much too great to bear
No solution you can see
In the silence, there’s a still, small voice
Saying, “I am here with thee!”
It’s your faith that sees you through
To the light inside of you
To my love that shines--
In you!
Keep the faith, for one more day
Hold onto your hope, that love will find a way
Ooh, child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh, child, things’ll get brighter
Right now, right now, right now, right now!
It’s your faith that sees you through
To the light inside of you
To the love that shines
It’s your faith that sees you through
To the light inside of you
To my love that shines--
In you–in you!
