Chorus: Give me your strength Give me your truth Give me a faith of my own Give me your strength Give me your truth Give me a faith of my own When I was a boy not so long ago I believed in You, but the faith was not my own I know You???re by my side, but now I feel alone Lost in this world where I???ve been thrown I am not a child, I strive to be the man Where faith is not just what I believe, it???s who I am Help me to look on high, help me to take a stand Lead me down the path to find your plan Repeat Chorus I need a faith of my own What now? Would you think that I???m grown up now? Would you think that I???ve blown up now? After what He has shown us How could you think it would last? Think it would not be a flash in the pan? Think you would not need to ask of the Man? Take a lasting grasp of His hand So I???m wondering How could He see in me? How could His spirit be in me? How could He use me just to see That I need to be in His presence to truly see That His message seeps into me It holds fast, a slash through the heart of me? My faith has got to last And blast way past the place where I used to be Strugglin??? with the faith I???ve been given Confusin??? fantasy with the life I???ve been livin??? How can my faith be truly blessed Unless it???s been tested and perfected Give me a way to see The chosen path You???ve laid before me Give me the strength to lean on You No matter where I???ve been or what I???ve been through Faith (give me a faith) That???s truly grown (I need a faith) Faith That I can just call my own Bring me back to the place and the path and the life to me That You???ve truly shown Repeat Chorus Now I am not a child, I strive to be the man Where faith is not just what I believe, it???s who I am
