Lyrics
Mama's soft light Breaking through the morning haze Holding on to promises we made Daddy's hands were calloused from the plow Taught me trust when shadows gathered round Through the storms that bent the tallest trees Faith was the root that set my spirit free Mama sang of grace beneath the stars Healing every hidden scar Oh, faith like a river Running deep and wide Carries me over when I can't abide It's the fire in my soul that never fades And every trial it lights the way Faith like a river Faith my anchor in the raging sea Lifting me higher Setting my heart free There were nights I stumbled, lost my ground Questioned every step Couldn't hear the sound But a quiet voice called me back again Reminded me where the church was And the journey ends Oh, faith like a river Running deep and wide Carries me over when I can't abide It's the fire in my soul that never fades And every trial it lights the way Faith my anchor in the raging sea Lifting me higher Setting my heart free Yeah, faith will lead us home someday Holding on, come what may Oh, faith like a river Oh, faith like a river
