Still

Woke up this morning 

With a feeling I couldn't shake

Took in a breath

And heard my heart break

What do you do

When all you'd hoped for

Disintegrates 

To love is an act of faith
It is a chance , a risk you take 

It's a single drop of water, 

Eventually turning into a lake

In the scorching heat

It's a single drop of water

That will not evaporate

refreshing a soul from its own defeat 

Of scars from wars, felt,

But never actually seen

To love is an act of faith

Armies of hope 

Marching in unison

Against every single thought 

Keeping us in our self built prison

Chained to ghosts of what and where you might've been 

To love is an act of faith 

Against waves of self hate

Against everything you wish you could be

But what kind of life are we living if we don't believe?

love is an act of faith 

It's only found in the gift ourselves

Sometimes you gotta walk out on the ledge

Heart in your hands, eyes focused 

Because love is an act of faith

It knows no amount, 

No limit or measure 

It just trusts and marches on 

It's recognizing the true treasure 

Is priceless 

You are a voice

One more voice

Marching in an army of hope

This is not forced

It is my choice 

To believe beyond reason 

To love in every season

To love is an act of faith 

It will bring you to your knees 

Take the very breath from your lungs 

As you struggle to breathe

For faith is believing in that which we cannot see 

You must train your heart to be the guides 

faith will be your eyes

It's like Holy Water 

From a desert stream 

You've gotta hold on to the beauty long after it has disappeared 

Love is an act of faith 
Though you can't explain 
it, how it feels , or from whence it leaps 

To love is an act much too precious to pass by easily 

It's allowing someone to love you

Just as you are , because you know the value of love is much more than anything we can ever conjure up 
It's life giving mercy

Love is the center of all things 
Love is an act of faith
