My faith, it lifts the weight of pain
From lonely and mistaken days
Of hiding behind deep dark lies
Of worthlessness and selfish pride
My faith is my belief in truth
That God above loves me and you
And He gave us freedom, He gave us life
To walk in love through Jesus Christ
I am confident that neither life nor death
Can keep me from the love of Christ
Keep me from the love of Christ
And though I cannot see
Still my heart believes
And I am filled with joy (inexpressible)
I feel His love dwelling up on the inside of me
All those years bound in shame, He is setting me free
His love goes deeper than the pain that I feel
His love is stronger, I believe that it's real
Now love's a choice
I know it's true
He never forced my heart to move
But therein lies the mystery
That He reached first in choosing me
He spoke my name
The sweetest sound
And to this day I still resound
Now death has lost its hold on me
Now life springs up abundantly
