This week’s praise song is “Never Gonna Break My Faith” by Aretha Franklin featuring Mary J. Blige. This song is so powerful! It’s from the movie “Bobby” about Robert F. Kennedy. This song is a reminder to hold onto faith, no matter what we see going on in the world around us. It reminds us that unanswered questions may exist, but we cannot lose sight of God. © Lisi P, 2009
My Lord, I have read this book so many times,
But nowhere can, 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 wont hide,
Because the footprints show you were by my side
You can lie to a child with a smiling face,
Tell me that color aint 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 aint 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, wont 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 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 aint 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 aint 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 a light
I know that the day will surely come, when it will be done
You never gonna break my faith
You never gonna break my faith
May we continue to pray for strength to continue!
Until next time.
Blessings,
~Lisi P.
