Faith's Song Page #4

I give up, take it all

I'm letting go and trusting

That you'll catch

me when I fall

Oh you catch me when I fall

Open hands, broken heart

I'm leaving it to you

To prove a hope

can come from heart

- Hey, I'm gonna go to

Bailey's for a drink.

Maybe it'll be quieter there.

- Don't be home late.

- So, how's your niece doing?

- If her parents hadn't left

us a butt-load of money,

she'd be out on the street.

- Yeah right, that's

your niece, man.

- No, it's Pam's niece.

No member of my family

ever even mentioned God.

Hey Brian, bring me that 10

millimeter wrench, would ya?

Thanks.

- So, you mean to tell me you

don't believe in God at all?

- I'm telling you, churches

are just a legal way

to steal people's

money and brainwash 'em

to thinking if they

do good and don't sin,

they'll have eternal life.

Well let me tell ya, when

you die, you're dead.

There's no afterlife.

- Well man, I hope you're wrong.

- Show me a real miracle,

then I'll believe.

- Hey Mrs. Bell,

I got your mail for you.

- Faith, you are so kind.

Be careful.

- I'll be okay.

- I'll be praying for you.

- Hey, let me ask you something,

now that we're family and all.

When you're praying

and talking to God,

you ever ask him why

he killed your parents?

- I hate it here,

I wanna go home.

I just don't understand

why God would let

me go through this.

What did I do wrong?

- Faith, you didn't

do anything wrong.

I wish I could explain why

this is happening to you

but I can't.

Just know that God

hasn't forsaken you

and he's gonna be with you

through this entire thing.

Just please don't

give up, Faith.

Continue to be in

prayer with the Lord

and ask him for guidance.

He'll show you the way.

- But when?

How long do I have

to go through this?

- I don't know but I do know

that God will be with you

every step of they way.

Something good will

come out of this.

- I'm trying so

hard to believe that

but I miss Mom and Dad.

I miss my friends.

- I know, Faith, I know.

- Who does she think she is,

thinking she could

take him from me?

And Michael keeps staring

at her, it's disgusting.

She thinks she's such

a good Christian like,

"Oh, look at me, I'm so

much better than everyone."

Give me a break, I mean, I know

what she really wants here.

Hannah, did you hear the real

reason why she moved here?

- Katie, shh, stop.

- Huh, what do you want

me to do, apologize?

God, I don't know

what I did wrong.

I don't know why

everyone hates me.

I'm trying so hard.

I just wanna fit in.

I don't wanna be

lonely anymore, God.

Please, please, God, I

don't know what to do.

He saved me from

my afflictions

You've heard me

through all the noise

Filled me up once

again with a song

And I'll raise my

voice to praise you

Oh what an honor to praise you

For the rest of my

life, I'll praise you

Over and over,

I'll praise you, Lord

Because of your love,

because of your grace

Because of the joy I

have seeking your face

I'll lift you up

and tell of your fame

Shout it out loud so

the world knows your name

I'll praise you, oh what

an honor to praise you

For the rest of my

life, I'll praise you

Over and over,

I'll praise you, Lord

I'll praise you, oh what

an honor to praise you

It's the reason I

live, to praise you

Over and over,

I'll praise you, Lord

- That was awesome,

you have such a gift.

Wait, I'm sorry, I

just heard you singing.

Did you write that?

- I've gotta go.

Hey boss?

Congratulations on getting

that Murphy contract.

- Yeah, thanks.

We really need to

ramp up production

if we're gonna

meet the deadlines.

- How's Jade, by the way?

- Don't forget, I need

that McKinley file

by the end of the day.

- Yes sir, you'll have

it by the end of the day.

- God, why is this so hard?

I've always tried

to do your will.

Your word says that

you'll never forsake me

but I feel so alone.

I feel like I'm lost, somewhere

I've never been before

and I can't find my way out.

Please help me understand.

- Is there something

I can help you with?

Seems like something's

troubling you.

- I just don't understand

what God wants from me.

- I know that feeling well.

Did something happen that

brought these feelings out?

- I recently lost

both my parents

and had to move to live

with my aunt and uncle.

- I'm sorry to hear that.

You know, losing a loved

one is a terrible thing.

Did they happen to have a

relationship with Jesus Christ?

- Yes sir, they were

both Christians.

- Well then, you have

the comfort in knowing

that they were in

covenant with God

through his son, Jesus Christ

and they will have eternal life.

- I know, I just

miss them so much.

- It's okay to miss them

and even a mourning

period is needed

but when the time comes,

will you praise and thank God

for the time you had

with your parents

or will you be bitter?

Always questioning

his reasoning?

You see, the answers are

not always easy to find.

Sometimes, we've got to

rely strictly on God's word.

I'm sure you're familiar with

2 Corinthians Five and Seven.

- For you walk by

faith, not by sight.

- Keep the faith and

God'll see you through.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, why

don't you come and join us

for Sunday service,

we'd love to have you.

- Hello?

- Hey, is this Faith?

- Yes.

- This is

Michael from school.

- Oh, hey.

- Listen, I

just wanted to apologize

for walking in on

you the other day.

I heard you from the hall

and I don't know

what I was thinking.

- It's fine, really,

don't worry about it.

It's just, that was

the first time I sang

in front of anybody

since my parents died.

- I'm

sorry, I had no idea.

Can I make it up to you?

Maybe I can take you

to dinner sometime?

- Yeah, I'd like that.

K, well I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

- Bye.

- Wow, you must be hungry.

- Actually, I was hoping

I could bring this food

to a girl I've seen in the park.

She looks hungry.

She looks like she needs help.

- There's no stopping your

kindness is there, Faith?

Just go ahead and

get what you need.

- Thanks, Aunt Pam.

Bye.

- Bye.

Carol, you raised a

wonderful daughter.

- Let's go Caleb!

- Oh my God, go Caleb!

- That's a good

book you're reading.

- Yes, sir.

Has a lot of great

stories in it.

Fearless leaders,

courageous triumphs,

and selfless acts, but most

of all, it's about hope,

salvation, and

unconditional love.

- Yes sir, it is.

- Do you mind if I share

my testimony with you?

- Sure.

- I was once a college

football player

with a promising pro career.

Then my sophomore year,

I tore my knee up.

I worked hard and

I prayed to God

to give me the strength to

come back and play again.

He did but less

than a year later,

I blew out my other knee even

worse than the first time.

You know, I started

to ask god why?

Why would he let me work so hard

to come back from

the first knee injury

just to let it happen again?

- I'm so sorry.

- Thanks, but I knew God

had greater plans for me,
