Burning Faith

[Verse 1]
Hard night
Drink by drink
Talking to the ceiling fan
So the room won’t think
Hands shake
Clock won’t move
I’m begging You to fix my heart
Before he gives up too
[Chorus]
I’ve got low faith
Barely hanging on this thread
But I’m asking for burning faith
Light it where the fear has spread
Like that one lost sheep
I’m calling from the dark, half-asleep
I’ve got low faith
But I’m asking for burning faith
[Verse 2]
Phone face down
Half past two
I’m tracing every stupid fight
Like they’re all tattoos
If he walks
Is it what I’ve earned?
Or are You holding out a match
For a heart that wants to burn?
[Chorus]
I’ve got low faith
Barely hanging on this thread
But I’m asking for burning faith
Light it where the fear has spread
Like that one lost sheep
I’m calling from the dark, half-asleep
I’ve got low faith
But I’m asking for burning faith
[Bridge]
If I wander off again
Will You still come find me? (find me)
If I drop this bottle here
Can Your fire still rise in me?
[Chorus]
I’ve got low faith
Barely hanging on this thread
But I’m asking for burning faith
Trade this panic for Your stead
Like that one lost sheep
Carry me till I can stand on my feet
I’ve got low faith
But I’m asking for burning faith

Slow, confessional piano ballad with female vocals; hushed verses close to the mic, soft ambient pads under a sparse upright piano. Chorus swells with warm strings and stacked harmonies, subtle sub-bass supporting the lift. Final chorus strips back to almost solo voice, ending on a lingering reverb tail and a single held piano chord., low
