I came apart when i was sifted like wheat Somehow i lost my way found myself in defeat
Alone in my failure discouraged and disgraced
Weary from the battle I dropped out of the race

Chorus:
But i never lost my faith i had a reason to believe
Even in my darkest hour there was a light that shone in me
Your presence stayed so near in my failures and my tears
I lost my joy
i lost my way but i never lost my faith

A fathers love you just don’t forget when it seemed my life was done
Mercy said not yet.
Deep inside my heart i always knew that you were true
You must have prayed for me cause my faith came shining thru
