A Mighty Force

I collaborate with Paulette Fry and together we create much music. In the past few years, we have created choral anthems and entire programs for Christmas, Pentecost, Reformation.   I write the lyrics.  She composes the music.  After that, a very talented choir director and choir bring the music to life.  Recently, Paulette asked me for lyrics for a song on the power of faith.   It will be special music in July.  Here it is.

A Mighty Force

Faith is a mighty force,

As powerful as the sea…

Faith can change world…

and transform you and me.

It only takes a small amount

No bigger than a seed,

To move a mountain, cure the lame, 

Or put a mind at ease.

Faith in God, can see us through

In the darkest of our hours,

Faith is a mighty force,

A daunting, awesome power.

Jesus said, “Believe in me, 

And you will be free,

of guilt and shame and fear.

I am the bread of life,

The shepherd of my sheep,

I know their voice and they know mine.

Believe in me, I am the vine,

Abide in me and you will find,

That I am the Way, the truth, the life.”

Faith is a mighty force

Yet a small amount is all you need,

To heal a child, or a disease,

To change the world, and greater yet,

To conquer the power of death.

For all eternity, for all eternity.

Faith is a mighty force

More powerful than the sea

Faith can change the world,

And transform you and me.
