“Daddy, Can I borrow your phone?”
“No, you need to do your homework.”
“But Daddy, I need your phone to do my homework.”
Reluctantly, I handed over my phone to my son, and shortly thereafter, “What Faith Can do” started to play.
With tears in his big brown eyes, my son said, “Daddy, My teacher said I should play this song for you; that’s my homework.”
It was September 2013.
I couldn’t start to count how many times I listened to this song that Fall. I would go on runs and listen to it over and over and over. To this day, not a week goes by that I don’t listen to “What Faith Can Do” when I need to be reminded of “What Faith Can Do.”
So thankful for God, my son (10 at the time), his teacher, and Kutless!
“What Faith Can Do” lyrics*
Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes
And make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you’re stronger
Stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason
For someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
Overcome the odds
You don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can
I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That’s what faith can do
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise
