[Aretha Franklin, The Boys Choir of Harlem, Mary J. Blige - Never Gonna Break My Faith lyrics]
My Lord, I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can I find the page that says
What I experienced today has any grace
Now I know that life is meant to be hard
That's how I learned to appreciate my God
Though my courage may be tried
I can tell you I won't hide
Because the footprints show you
Were by my side
You can lie to a child with a smiling face
Tell me that color ain't about a race
You can cast the first stone
You can break my bones
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
My Lord, won't you help them, help them
Help them to understand
That when someone takes the life
Of an innocent man, woo
Well, they never really won because
All they've really done
Is set the soul free where
It's supposed to be
You can lie to a child with a smiling face
Tell me that color ain't about a race
You can cast the first stone
You can break my bones but you're never
You're never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a king
Break an angel's wings
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will will be done
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, it will be
You're never gonna break my faith oh yeah
He will, He will, He will
Never gonna break my faith
You're never gonna break my faith, never
Never
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
Never, never, never never, never
Never, never, never, never, never, never
You're never gonna break my faith
Oh yeah, ain't gonna break my faith
Never, never
But nowhere can I find the page that says
What I experienced today has any grace
Now I know that life is meant to be hard
That's how I learned to appreciate my God
Though my courage may be tried
I can tell you I won't hide
Because the footprints show you
Were by my side
You can lie to a child with a smiling face
Tell me that color ain't about a race
You can cast the first stone
You can break my bones
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
Faith and hope ain't yours to give
Truth and liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But you're never gonna break
You're never gonna break my faith
My Lord, won't you help them, help them
Help them to understand
That when someone takes the life
Of an innocent man, woo
Well, they never really won because
