I'm reaching out, yet the Sun keeps on setting
Painting me gold but bringing on the blue
As I look to the sky, I can feel the tears start swelling
And I cry, help me, lord, what am I to do?

I gotta have faith, faith in the lord
That the Sun will rise tomorrow, and I'll be stronger than before
I gotta have faith, faith in the lord
That these trying times will help me and I can reap my reward

I look around and begin to count my blessings
One by one and I see what God has done
My heart is whole, and I don't need to keep on guessing
I am a child of God and after all is said and done

But I gotta have faith, (faith) faith in the lord (faith in the lord)
That the Sun will rise tomorrow, and I'll be stronger than before
I gotta have faith, (faith) faith in the lord (faith in the lord)
That these trying times will help me and I can reap my reward

Oh, and I know, that my saviours walking with me
By my side, in my heart and in my mind
He's the light of my life that I need to survive
(He's the light of my life I need to survive)
And I know that I am because of him

So I'm gonna have faith, faith in the lord
And the Sun will rise tomorrow, and I'll be - stronger than before
I'm gonna have faith, (faith) faith in the lord (faith in the lord)
That these trying (faith) times will help me
(Faith in the lord) and I can reap my reward

I gotta have –
I gotta, gotta, (faith) gotta, gotta have faith
(Faith in the lord) in the lord, ooh
And the Sun will (faith) rise tomorrow
(Faith in the lord) and I'll be stronger than before
I gotta (faith) have faith, faith in the lord (faith in the lord)
(Faith, faith in the lord)

I need my reward
I gotta have faith (faith)
