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.
