You Give Me the Faith

You give me the faith

To walk through the door

You give me the strength

To keep on going

When doors are shut

You help me see

The way forward

And bless me with the faith

To leave the past alone

When memories are flooding me

You give me the faith

When things go wrong

To not fall on my face

But to fall to my knees

And thank you for your love

You help me see

That in my struggles

I am not alone

But that I am being covered

By an everlasting love

You give me the faith

To accept that love

Even though in my heart

I feel I am not worthy

And lacking in ability

You help me see

That I am enough

That my heart is pure

And in your eyes

I am a chosen princess
