Faith's Song Page #3

I just don't understand.

- Faith, I'm sorry but we

need to get on the road.

We've got a long

drive ahead of us.

- I love you, Mom and Dad.

I'm gonna miss you both so much.

- Yeah, I played golf

with the mayor yesterday.

He said everything's okay.

I think we got the

problem ironed down.

That's right, I

had to let Ted go.

He just couldn't

get the job done.

I feel bad for

him and his family

but, you know, it is what it is.

That's right.

Okay, that sounds good.

We'll wrap it up tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Hello, this is Frank.

I need you to send me the

Jacobson contracts by tomorrow.

Hey, I need to call you back.

Hello, this is Frank.

Yes, Mr. Johnson.

We're gonna have everything

to you by tomorrow.

That's right.

- Roger, what are you doing?

- What does it look

like I'm doing?

I'm working on my truck.

- Faith's on the way and

she's been through a lot

and I want you to be

on your best behavior.

- That's your family, not mine.

- Here she comes,

I mean it, Roger.

Hey, sweetie, you

have a good trip?

- It was okay.

- Okay, well come on.

We'll take you up to

see your room, okay?

- Hi, I'm Pastor Jay.

- You can take those on inside.

- Okay.

Alright now, Faith.

Remember, keep your namesake,

I'm only a call away.

- Thank you, Pastor Jay.

Thank you for everything.

- You're welcome,

I'll talk to you soon.

- Hey.

- How's it going

over there so far?

- I guess okay.

I don't really think

Uncle Roger wants me here.

- Come on, I'm sure

that's not true.

You know I miss you

so much already.

I wish you could come

back and live with us.

- I know, I miss you, too.

I start at my new

school tomorrow.

- Well, I'm sure you'll

meet plenty of new people.

Just be your old happy

self and you'll be fine.

- I don't know if

I can be right now.

- How long is she

gonna be here anyway?

- As long as she

needs to be here.

We're the only

family she has left.

- No, you're the only

family she has left.

- Why do you keep saying that?

Roger, you married

into this family.

- But it's still not mine.

No matter how hard you

try, it never will be.

- Roger, this is our chance.

This is our chance to move

forward after all these years.

- After all these years.

- Morning, sweetie.

- Morning.

- Made you

some breakfast.

Hope you like scrambled eggs.

- Yes, ma'am.

Lord, thank you for this food.

Please bless it to the

nourishment in my body, Amen.

- Just lost my appetite.

Hey, hun, I'm just gonna grab

something on my way to work.

- Okay.

- Faith, hurry,

we're gonna be late.

- I'm coming.

- Dogwood's pretty

this time of year.

- Faith, where you going?

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

- Here, I'll get that for you.

- Well, thank you, sweetie.

Thank you.

Oh my, you look like an angel.

- Come on, Faith, we're late.

- That's your name, Faith?

Yes, ma'am.

- Don't let 'em change you.

- Well, have a blessed day.

- Thank you,

you too, darling.

- I'm gonna be late.

Um, do you think that you

could register yourself?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Just try

to fit in, okay?

And have a good day, alright?

And I'll pick you up, just go.

- Watch it, freak.

- Sorry.

- You better be.

- God, please keep Faith

strong in your word.

I know that you are

our Father in heaven,

that you can provide

for all things

and that you alone are

our strongest tower,

our strength and our way.

Help her to face these

giants before her.

Help her to understand that

even the smallest stone

can vanquish the

tallest of them.

My trust is given

to you, Father.

Though she has lost

those who have loved

and guided her thus

far, help her to endure.

Let her see the way,

the only way, your way.

In your son's

name, I pray, Amen.

- Hey check it out, a new girl.

They always say

modest is hottest

but I think she took

that way too seriously.

- Well, it's a

nice change of pace

from what we usually

see around here.

Come on, let's get to class.

- Sorry I'm late.

- It's no problem, why

don't you take a seat?

- I can't wait

that long, though.

- Hey, Michael.

- Hey, Katie.

Think we're having pizza.

- Hey dude, check

out her bookbag.

- What is she, a nun?

- Caleb and Jacob,

see me after class.

I have some extra

homework for you two.

Now class, let's give

our new classmate

a proper Central High welcome.

Would you stand up and tell

us a little about yourself?

- My name is Faith.

- Of course it is.

- I just moved to this city

to live with my aunt and uncle

and that's pretty much it.

- Cool story, tell it again.

- Thank you, Faith.

Now class, we're

going to pick up

where we left off yesterday.

If you'll please

take out your books

and turn to page 375.

- Hey, do you need some help?

- That's okay, I'll

just go to the office.

- You don't have to

do that, I'll get it for you.

There you go.

- Thanks.

- By the way, my name's Michael.

- Faith.

- Yeah, I was just

in class with you.

- Oh, yeah.

- Don't worry about it.

New school, you're

allowed to be nervous.

- Come on, let's go.

- Alright, well I gotta

go, see you around, Faith.

- Here, let me get that.

- Ah, you are too kind.

- It's no problem.

Here, let me walk

you to your house.

- You don't have to do that.

- I want to.

- You have such a giving heart.

- Faith, what are you doing?

- It will just take a

second, I'll be right there.

- You're such a

blessing to me, Faith.

Do you know the Lord?

- Yes, ma'am.

- I believe he's got some

big plans for you, sweetie.

Do you mind if I ask why

you're living next door?

- It's a long story.

Well, I need to get going.

- Thank you so

much for your help.

- I can pick up

your paper for you

in the morning before

I head to school.

- Oh, you don't have

to do that, sweetie.

- No, I want to.

- Well, thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Bu bye.

- Bye.

Somehow I started over again

Somehow I knew there'd

be no more chances

I've got to move

on and cut my losses

Letting go of heavy crosses

That bring me down to my knees

Til I have to say

I give up, take it all

I'm letting go and

trusting that you'll catch me

When I fall,

catch me when I fall

Open hands, broken heart

I'm leaving it to you to prove

A hope can come from heart

A hope can come from the heart

Somehow the morning

shatters the night

Somehow I know I'm so

close to being all right

I've trusted in way

too many shallow authors

Listened to so many scoffers

That poisoned my

mind and taken my soul

All this time, oh no

I give up, take it all

I'm letting go and trusting

that you'll catch

me when I fall

You'll catch me when I fall

Open hands, broken heart

I'm leaving it to you

To prove a hope

can come from heart

A hope can come

I'm loosening my grip

And I am opening my hands

Giving you all I've ever loved

And all that I

know that I lack

So take it Lord

as you well please

I know well there's

no looking back

I'll trust you with my

prized and precious things

Yeah all of my precious things
