Well it seems with You there is something new
Every time I turn around
Oh I never really know quite what to expect
But it won’t get me down

Cause I know You bring each and every thing
Just to teach me how to live
And the secret of it all is trusting in You
And the wisdom to give

Say goodbye to the feelings ’cause the feelings go away
Say goodbye to the people ’cause the people never stay
Say goodbye to the future if it blinds you today
Say goodbye to the reasoning that’s standing in the way,
Oh we’ve got to break away
Break away to be…
Faith-walkin’ people… can’t rely on everything we feel
Faith-talkin’ people… we must discern what’s really real
Faith-walkin’ people… can’t believe in everything we see
Faith-talkin’ people seems like such a mystery

And in all the earth there is nothing worth
Half as much as life with You.
‘Cause the people and the things we’re counting on here
Are gonna’ pass away too
I don’t understand everything you’ve planned
But I don’t really have to know
‘Cause You’re giving me a joy that’s filling my heart when I learn to let go
