"What Faith Can Do"

NOTE: This blog was originally written in September 2010.

What Faith Can Do by Kutless

Everybody falls sometimes
You 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’re stronger, stronger than you know
And don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

CHORUS:  I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
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
You may decide to take that step
Out on the water
But it’ll be all right
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

(Repeat Chorus) 

Overcome the odds
When you don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It will tell you that it can

(Repeat Chorus) 

I recently heard this song on the radio and it really spoke to my heart.  I know there are many times when the trials in my life seem so heavy that my faith begins to waiver.  You ever been there?  Even though we are Christians and have faith in the One who can do the impossible, we are also humans who are guilty of being a doubting Thomas.  I know first hand that keeping your faith and holding your head high when you are in the midst of the strongest, nastiest storm of your life is hard.  I have been there before myself and unfortunately I know it won't be the last time.  I have been in the midst of some storms in my life recently and I believe the Lord sent this song my way to encourage me never to lose faith because He is always there.  There is not much I can say to add to the message of these beautiful lyrics, so I am just going to let them speak for themselves.  I hope this song can give you encouragement in the midst of your storm just as it has done for me.
