My Lord, I have read this book so many times But nowhere can I find the page that says What I experienced today has any grace
Now I know that life is meant to be hard That's how I learned to appreciate my God Though my courage may be tried, I can tell you I won't hide Because the footprints show you were by my side
You can lie to a child with a smiling face Tell me that color ain't about a race You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give Truth and liberty are mine to live Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith
My Lord, won't you help them, help them, help them to understand That when someone takes the life of an innocent man Well, they never really won because all they've really done Is set the soul free where it's supposed to be
You can lie to a child with a smiling face Tell me that color ain't about a race You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones But you never, you never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give Truth and liberty are mine to live Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith
For those we lose before their time I pray their souls will find the light I know that the day will surely come When his will, his will, will be done Yes, it will, alright
Never gonna break my faith Never gonna break my faith You never gonna break my faith
