I was raised on the good book
And taught to believe
Faith was instilled in my soul
It was better to give
Than to receive
I was bound for the streets
Paved with gold
Then I lost my way
Forgot how to pray
Just a backslider out in the cold
He didn't give up on me
The Lord set me free
And faith came back to me

Faith came back to me
I was blind but now I can see
I was wand'ring in sin
So aimlessly
And faith came back to me

Now I spend my days
Singing His praise
Thanks, mom and daddy
For raisin' me right
That strong foundation
In the right direction
Helps me make it through the darkest night

Faith came back to me
I was blind but now I can see
I was wand'ring in sin
So aimlessly
And faith came back to me

When his children are taught wrong from right
They will always come back to his side

And faith came back to me
I was blind but now I can see
I called out to thee
Oh Lord, hear my plea
And faith came back to me

Like in old Galilee
He showed His mercy
And faith came back to me
