Faith's Song Page #5

plans that I was not aware of,

plans even greater than

playing the game of football.

So, let God lead you

towards his plans for you.

- I will, thanks.

- Hey Rev, I didn't

see you up there.

How you doing?

- What's up, how you doing?

Hey coach, how's

my nephew doing?

- Man, he's really knocking

the cover off the ball.

- Well, how's his

fielding going?

- He's having a great year.

- That's good.

- You have a wonderful day.

- You, too.

You really need to

cut Faith some slack.

She's been through a lot

and she doesn't deserve you

always being mean to her.

- Come on, I'm doing

that girl a favor.

Sooner she forgets

all this God nonsense,

the sooner she can fit in.

You remember when we met?

You were so full

of that God stuff.

Good thing you got that

out of your system, huh?

- Shut up, Roger.

- So when they had

eaten breakfast,

Jesus said to Simon Peter,

"Simon, son of Jonah, do you

love me more than these?"

He said, "Yes Lord, you

know that I love you."

Jesus says to him, "Feed my

sheep," three different times

and what did Jesus mean

when he said over and over

for Peter to tend

and feed his sheep?

You know, most of us

think of feeding an animal

to be food of some sort but

what Jesus was saying to Peter

was that he would be charged

with overseeing the church

and he would be charged

with overseeing the church

as well as to ensure

that the word of God

and his sheep, you and

I, would be fed the word.

The disciples, at the

time, did not realize

that Jesus would

have to go and die

for your sins and mine

and they would be charged

with spreading the

gospel to the world.

Amen?

- Amen.

- Well, we have a

special guest today with us

that's gonna be

singing a song for us.

Faith, would you come on up?

When I'm scared, let

your grace fall down

When I'm lost, in

you I will be found

Like the waves that

crash upon the sand

Will you cover me, cover

me with your mighty hand

Cover me with

your grace and love

Cover me with

your steadfast love

Cover me, let your

arms surround me

Cover me with your love

Cover me with your love

Cover me with

your grace and love

Cover me with

your steadfast love

Cover me, let your

arms surround me

Cover me with your love

Cover me with your love

Cover me with your love, yeah

Cover me with your love

- Aunt Pam,

I'm so glad you came.

- Me too, sweetie,

you did a great job.

- Thank you.

- Hey Faith, wait up.

- Hey, Michael.

- I wanna introduce

you to my parents.

- Hi Faith, I'm Rachel and

this is my husband, Mike.

- Hi Faith, nice to meet you.

- Hi.

- I can see why Michael

talks about you all the time.

You are a very pretty girl.

Thank you.

- Come on, Mom, sorry Faith.

I'll see you at school tomorrow.

- Okay.

- How can I help you, dear?

- I need to see a doctor.

- What about?

- Pregnancy.

- Okay, right, if you

could just fill this out

as best as you can,

we'll send you on back.

- Well, looks like it's

for sure, you're pregnant.

- How am I supposed

to take care of it?

- With love and compassion.

- What if I don't want it?

- I'm sorry but we

don't do that here.

Listen, what I can do for you

is write you a prescription

so you have the right medicine

and you and your baby

are healthy throughout

the pregnancy.

And I can tell you that every

child is a gift from God.

Jade, wait, your medication.

- Do you wanna go

get something to eat?

- Sure.

- Alright, let's go.

- Uh, you know, we played

baseball for a while, so...

- Dear Lord, thank you

for your blessings.

Thank you for the

food you provide.

Please bless it to the

nourishment of our bodies, Amen.

- Amen.

So, I have a game on

Friday, are you gonna come?

- Maybe.

- Maybe?

Well, I hope you do.

Have you decided on what you

wanna do with your music?

- I don't know, I mean,

growing up I always thought

I'd be doing something to

worship God with my music

but now, after all that's

happened, I'm just not sure.

I'm not entirely sure I

even wanna keep singing.

- But Faith, you have

such an amazing gift.

I don't think you realize how

your music affects people.

- I love God but I'm just not

sure that people care anymore.

So many have pulled away,

all the awful things I've

seen these past few weeks.

- But that's a reason why to

use your God-given talent.

- I don't know.

- I have an idea, why

don't you grab some friends

and put a concert

on at the school?

- A Jesus concert,

who would come?

- I'll take care of that,

you just get ready to sing.

- God, it's been a while.

I hardly know what to say.

I need your help.

God, I'm sorry for

all that I've done.

I tried to do everything right.

Look what it's got me.

I lost my wife, my daughter,

and now I'm here all alone.

All I have is my job.

Please help me, God.

Please help me find

my daughter, please.

- Roger, I thought you

were coming home hours ago.

- Chill out, I'll be home later.

- No, you're coming home now.

- I said I'll be home

later, don't piss me off.

- I'm not living

like this anymore.

It's either this or it's us

and I'm praying you choose us.

I'm going home.

- You're doing what?

- Putting on a

concert at school.

- Who put you up to that?

- Oh, some guy.

- Oh, a boyfriend?

- No, not a boyfriend.

- Sounds like you're doing

pretty well for yourself,

new school, new boyfriend.

- Anyways, we're

planning this concert

and I was wondering,

do you guys want in?

- I'm in.

- Faith, you know I'll be there.

- I'll be there too, Faith.

- Have you been

there the whole time?

- Hush, Nevaeh.

Now Faith, what's this

boyfriend I hear about?

- Give it back.

- Does he have

a little brother?

- God, please help me.

I have nowhere to go

and no one wants me.

- I'm home.

- Roger, what are you doing?

You told me to come home.

- That was hours

ago, you're drunk.

- Ah, here comes the priest.

You here to tell me

I'm going to hell?

- Roger, that's enough.

- I say when it's enough.

You know, there is no God.

You know how I know?

Because I got you instead

of my own baby girl

and if there is

a God, he's cruel

because now you're here,

living in my house,

eating my food, trying

to change my life.

- I didn't try to

change anything.

- Take my wife to church,

messing with the

old bag next door.

- I was just trying to help.

- Stop trying,

you're not helping.

Every day that I

have to see your face

reminds me of the

daughter I lost.

That's how I know

there's no God.

- I don't know what

you want from me.

- Get out of my house!

- Roger!

- Go!

- Wait!

Listen, I don't know what

you've been going through

but this isn't the answer.

- You don't know me.

- I've seen you around, I've

been wanting to help you

and my Mom used to

tell me before she died

that one small

gesture or kind word

can change someone's life.

I know you may

feel lost right now

but there's a God

and he loves you.

He's the one that

directed me to help you.
