I have this little thing called faith It's about as big as a mustard seed When it feels like my life is about to abate I turn to Him to fulfill my every need I have this little thing called faith When it feels like the walls are closing in I know You suffered greatly and died for me But I still punish myself for my past sins I have this little thing called faith When it feels like I have been forsaken It's a matter of choice and not up to fate To accept the offer that has been taken I have this little thing called faith In my mind and heart I have been afflicted My soul feels fallen to the point of no return But I know it is of the Spirit I am convicted My soul it hurts so deep from the depths of depravity I can't go on like this I am a living catastrophe I will stand firm in the battle for Christ's sake And I will hold on to this little thing called faith

Little Thing Called Faith
Life is a fight when you try to do right. Around every corner they try to steer you the wrong way. There are so many new horizons and paths to go down. When you're at the end of the rope you can always turn around. Don't ever give up in what you believe. You can always achieve what your mind can conceive. The days have been long and I need to reprieve. There is an emptiness I need to relieve. Everything I encounter is tempting and beautiful, But I will not give in to the fiery desires. They will only bring sorrow and make me wallow in despair. I know what the right thing to do is and I will stick to my guns. Don't ask me why I make myself suffer I know my day will come. Because in my heart I will never be lonely and I'll have the one. Never be lonely because you're never alone. All the friends, family, and faces from the place you call home. Take me to the place where they call me their own. Just be who you are and you'll always be your own. Never be lonely for you can lose yourself. There's always somebody to lend you help. Don't give yourself away, your heart is within you. Just listen to your heart and you'll always be true. Never be lonely because fate takes a turn. Always show respect and never let bridges burn. Inside all of us we can be crude and vindictive. Just look into your heart for the proper incentive. Never be lonely because it can bring out the worst. Even if you don't know it can leave you cursed, But I have been lonely and I know how it feels. I'm just going nowhere and spinning my wheels. If you never be lonely you will find yourself. You have to love who you are to love someone else. Never be lonely because you'll be stuck in the game, With no one to turn to and only yourself to blame.

Never Be Lonely

Standing alone in the shadow of a doubt. When there's no one to run to, or no way out. Looking down on the water at my own reflection. Hoping I can get rid of this mental infection. This mental infection just turns into mist. Peace in myself is my one remaining wish. My mind is a storm and I can't find any cover. I hope I make it out when the storm is over. I know you still love me and would do anything. To keep me in your life, with love on the wing. But I can't turn back, because I felt the pain. My heart would break again, driving me insane. There's a special lady out there, who'll really care. To keep my heart strong, this heart you can't tear. I will never let you into my heart again. But you'll always be in my heart, until the end. I don't know why good love had to turn bad. Leave me feeling depressed, leave me feeling sad. But it was not my fault, so my heart won't falter. There's a long road ahead, and I have to keep pushing farther.

Mental Infection
Out of the shadows I do seek to find I pray to God to find peace of soul and mind I'm trapped inside of this body for me to remind That only the Lord can heal me true and divine

I wake up at the beginning of every day. Thinking about the time I'm wasting away. I hope that one day I find an open door. I know that I was meant for so much more. With all of life's expense I have to keep pace. It leaves me stuck between a rock and hard place. I'm not looking for the way things were before. That's what I'm trying to get away from for so much more. When I say "So Much More" I don't mean material things. I'm talking about the purpose for me that God brings. And I pray in His will he takes me to a different shore. Because I know that I was meant for so much more. The endless monotony makes me wanna cry my eyes out. But if not that it makes me wanna pry my eyes out. But there is only one light that knows what's in store. And I will dig deeper to know there is so much more. Everything the past ten years have seemed meaningless. But if it has a purpose then it has to be gleaminess. The soul-crushing pain is for the renewing of my core. So I can be filled with joy to know there is so much more.

So Much More
I feel I'm losing ground and starting to slip. I drive with no steering wheel and lose my grip. There are still so many things I have to discover. I wander through the abyss like no other. I don't know if I've found what I'm looking for. I'm looking for the way that it was before. I'm looking for youthful freedom and innocence. The freedom of my heart and never-ending complacence. I want to feel free to be who I want to be. There is no one I want to be other than me. I want to unlock the chains that surround my heart. And be free again like it was in the start. I'm gonna be free again, and will be free soon. I'm gonna stand up and sing to a different tune. Life's too mundane and there has to be something ahead. There will not be anymore days I am gonna dread. Life's too short to live in depression and despair. I am going to be free again, the way it oughta be. I have much farther to go and I need to keep movin'. I am locked up in myself and there is so much I'm losin'.

I will keep chasing the setting sun As long as I am young enough to run I am surrounded and under the gun I won't give up till my days are done
